Farmer Veteran (Working Title)

As he holds a hatching bird in his hands, U.S. Army veteran Alex Sutton envisions a life beyond the bounds of his chronic post traumatic stress disorder, in which he gives life rather than takes it. Though he lacks farming experience, Alex finds a strong sense of purpose in raising animals and begins to reconnect with the young man he was before three combat tours in Iraq changed him forever. But when his new girlfriend, Jessica, becomes pregnant, the thought of fatherhood stirs up old demons and threatens to undo everything they have created together. Over the course of four seasons, Farmer Veteran examines painful truths about the contradictory life of a veteran who aches for a new mission on the other side of war.
