Plot: A public school teacher in her pre-military life, Pvt. Samantha Harrison of the National Guard has just returned to her home in Buffalo, New York following a year long deployment in an Iraqi war zone. She and most of her fellow National Guardsmen deployed on that mission never expected to go into combat and probably never would have enlisted had they suspected it would happen. Her C.O., Lt. Jimmy Cooper, admits as much, he only enlisting on the want of his senator father who thought that having a military son would look good on the campaign trail. What has followed Sam back from war is an accusation that she killed two Army soldiers in friendly fire in a major battle, ballistic evidence showing that the bullets that killed those soldiers being from her weapon. The investigation was initiated on the accusation of Army Cpl. A. Graydon, the dead men's squad leader who wants to see Sam pay for the deaths. Although no one seems to have had a clear perspective of the incident besides apparently Graydon, including Sam who has no idea what happened in the melee of the battle, her fellow National Guardsmen on the scene - Coop, and Pvts. Billy Peterson and Bobby Rodriguez - know that she didn't do it despite not having that clear view, and credit her with them making it out of the battle alive. However with the exception of Coop, Billy and Rodriguez seem unwilling or unable to testify on her behalf. What has also followed Sam home is a case of PTSD, something that she doesn't want to admit despite those closest to her - such as her best friend Paige Briar, and her elderly neighbor Walt, a Vietnam veteran himself - being able to see that not all is right with her emotionally. That doesn't stop Sam and Coop starting to fall for each other romantically, as he seems to be the one person who is standing by her and understands what she went through in Iraq, a relationship now possible between the two with he no longer being her C.O. However, as time progresses, Sam begins to believe that someone is trying to frame her - or is her PSTD causing her to become paranoid about the situation?
