Synopsis

Gus Robinson loves three things: his job, family, and country; but suddenly he's losing all three. When his factory shuts down, Gus faces unemployment. It's a time of change for his wife Martha and son Charlie as they reassess a world Gus barely recognizes. But through the nightmare, one dream they cannot take away from him; the reason he will continue to fight: his son, Charlie.
