When Lt. Brian McCarran returns from a brutal tour in Iraq, he’s haunted by memories he won’t share. He leans on Kate Gallagher, his closest friend—and wife of his commanding officer, Capt. Joe D’Abruzzo. But Joe, also marked by the war, becomes withdrawn and volatile, straining everyone around him.
Then, tragedy: Brian shoots Joe on their Virginia army base, claiming self-defense. Kate supports Brian’s account, alleging Joe had turned abusive. But as the case escalates into a high-stakes court-martial, questions about Brian and Kate’s relationship surface, and their buried secrets threaten to unravel.
Tasked with defending Brian, JAG lawyer Capt. Paul Terry soon finds himself entangled in the McCarrans’ dark family dynamics. Can he discover the truth, or will this trial break them all?
