First we see the survivors are trying to figure out what to do now that they’ve survived the night. Someone suggests calling the police. After a moment, they all laugh and think of another solution. Next we find Dewayne going over his idea of calling the firemen because “they won’t shoot you.” We hear sirens approaching, and then the group is hit by a stream of water from a firehose.

What did you think of this film?

John Colter, a wounded veteran, returns to the States still carrying the demons of war, hauntingly disturbed by the everyday expectations of friendships and love interests. In Livingston, Montana, he meets Ike, a surly, headstrong fly-fisherman more than twice his age, and Lucy, a talented photographer turned librarian who reads aloud to veterans, both damaged in their own way. While getting treatment for his wounds, both physical and psychological, Colter wants only to re-enlist, to have something to die for. But the real challenge is finding something to live for.
