A Coast Guard commander’s plans for a peaceful retirement are upended when two Syrian refugees land on his doorstep. As local authorities investigate, the man must decide whether to obey his rigid sense of duty as an ex-soldier or honor his wife’s memory by helping the refugees. The choice he makes will have far-reaching consequences for the refugees, his family, and himself.
