Kyle is absent when he returns from his fourth tour he decided to be his last. When his children play around him, their playful screams mix with the screams and explosions of the war. During a party in his garden, Kyle almost kills the family’s dog when he mistakenly believes that he attacks his son.

After the incident, he goes to a psychiatrist in a VA hospital and is pressed because of his PTSD. “Do you ever think that you have seen or done things that you wish you haven’t had?” The doctor asks.
