Sergeant Daniel Malone is back in the States after being medically discharged for severe PTSD. In his hands, he holds a letter given to him by a fallen friend. The letter, the last note from Eric, the soldier's brother, is of his coming out and needing his brother's support.
Daniel insists on returning it to Eric and telling him that his brother supported and loved him, but Eric blames Daniel for his brother's death. Daniel gives the worn letter to Eric in the hope it brings him peace but can't stay away as the words of the message and seeing Eric for the first time have stirred feelings in Daniel's heart that he'd never felt before.
Even though Eric seems to want nothing to do with him, fate and the letter written to a brother could be what brings them together or drives them apart.
