This is the story of a 19-year military policeman, Jason Austin, who was injured in an explosion when his vehicle hit an IEDs. On top of the serious physical injuries he faced from the accident, he suffered from post traumatic stress. A phone call inviting Jason to go kayak fishing forever changed his life. He was able to leave his troubles on shore and gain his freedom back through nature.
