Jack Miller, a retired Ranger Captain and decorated war hero, has returned home from the battlefields of World War II and Korea, but the peace he fought for is harder to find in his own life. Haunted by the scars of war, Jack struggles to adjust to civilian life. The man who once led his troops with confidence now faces a world that feels foreign, where his military skills and instincts don't seem to fit. As he battles inner demons and the harsh realities of post-war America, Jack finds himself torn between the man he was in combat and the man he's trying to become at home. His journey is one of resilience, loss, and the unshakable grip of the past?one where even though the wars are over, the fight for peace has only just begun.
