How can one comprehend the pain of a young mother torn away from her son to defend her country on the battlefield? Marissa, a single mom, has to leave her little boy behind when the Army calls her to serve in the desert of Iraq during the post war era of Iraqi Freedom. As a medic, Marissa faces danger, is a witness to brutality and destruction, and aches to be home with her little Charlie. Her boy’s pleading for her to come home and hug him is a sword that pierces her heart during every call. Only the camaraderie of Marissa's friends and a forbidden romance that develops between her and a young lieutenant, keeps Marissa going. Together with Lieutenant O’Rourke, Marissa initiates a project to help a group of orphaned boys and the war finally regains some meaning for her.
