Will Montgomery, a U.S. Army officer who has just returned home from a tour in Iraq and is assigned to the Army?s Casualty Notification service.

When he finds himself drawn to Olivia, to whom he has just delivered the news of her husband?s death, Will?s emotional detachment begins to dissolve and the film reveals itself as a surprising, humorous, moving and very human portrait of grief, friendship and survival.
