March On, Dream Normal

March On, Dream Normal is a story about a family’s struggle to repair itself after the devastation of wars generations apart.

Jim has recently returned home to his parents’ house in Missouri after an extended tour in Iraq, but he’s haunted by nightmares of what he had to do to survive while over there, especially one particular, horrifying incident. His father, whose brother served in Vietnam, recognizes the signs of PTSD in his son, but he’s unequipped to help Jim fight his destructive demons and stop his downward spiral to suicide. Meanwhile, the family’s other son struggles with the damage he sees in his brother and the prospect that his National Guard unit may be sent to Iraq as well.
