A wounded veteran returns to the States carrying the demons of war. In Montana, he meets a surly, headstrong fly-fisherman more than twice his age, and Lucy, a talented photographer turned librarian. Both damaged in their own way. While getting treatment for his wounds, Colter wants only to re-enlist, to have something to die for. But the real challenge is finding something to live for.
Rob and Josh discuss the making of the movie from the directors’ perspective. Josh is a dedicated trout angler, and he describes the lengths he took to ensure the fishing scenes in the movie were accurate.
