Emerging from his service in Iraq, a soldier seeks redemption and solace by joining

the Peace Corps and volunteering in Ukraine, only to grapple with the weight of his

experiences and the shifting landscape of his moral compass. He finds that he must

set aside idealistic notions of escape and atonement and confront the ghosts of his

past and the complex reality of the present. The saga delves into his journey of

assimilation and self-discovery.

His attempts to forge connections—particularly with the enigmatic Katya and the

volatile Sgt. Ramsey—serve to unearth deeper layers of pain and resilience. As a

consequence of his journey throughout the battlefields of Iraq and the post-Soviet

world of a quaint Ukrainian village, he comes to terms with the nature of suffering

and the pursuit of meaning in a world marked by chaos and uncertainty.
