After active service in Northern Ireland, the Falklands, Iraq and Afghanistan four veterans openly discuss their experiences of conflict and the psychological effects of war on their lives beyond the battlefield and how they live life after their wars and once they return home. The film uses a mixture of talking head testimony, archive and highly stylised dramatic sequences.
The film follows the experiences of three members of the Canadian military: Katie Hodges, an infantry soldier, Corporal Tamar Freeman, a medical professional, and Master Corporal Kimberly Ashton, a combat engineer. Revealing details of life on the front lines in Afghanistan, the film combines video diaries and recorded phone calls made by the soldiers with interviews by Freeman.
