Plot summary
Colter is a Marine who comes home from Afghanistan struggling with the trauma of the war. Memories of friends who died there haunt him, and survivor's guilt weighs on him alongside injuries that make everyday tasks difficult. The V.A. sends him to Montana, where he meets Ike Fletcher, a Vietnam veteran who fishes with a fly. Fletcher takes Colter out onto the water and teaches him to cast, and the river gives Colter something to hold his attention besides the past. The two of them, from different wars and different generations, form a friendship over the hours they spend fishing together.
