"Back"

“Back” is the story of James Weston (Zachary Holmes), a Navy Corpsman whose team was attacked while on deployment. He comes home and finds himself struggling to actually be “back”. Everywhere he turns something pulls him back to that horrific day. His friends Jason and Andrea (Daniel and Alexis Burko) notice that something is off and try to help him. He is resistant at first and then after an episode where he almost hurts his Friend, he seeks therapy. The therapist, Jennifer (Kaitlin Weaver), convinces him to take part in a documentary that helps other service men and women seek help before they too lose so much of their lives to this awful ailment.
