Thirty-something Captain Sam Cahill and his younger brother Tommy Cahill, are polar opposites. A Marine 
about to embark on his fourth tour of duty, Sam is a steadfast family man married to his high school sweetheart, 
the aptly named Grace, with whom he has two young daughters. Tommy, his charismatic younger brother, is a drifter 
just out of jail who's always gotten by on wit and charm. He slides easily into his role as family provocateur 
on his first night out of prison, at Sam's farewell dinner with their parents, Elsie and Hank Cahill, a retired 
Marine. Shipped out to Afghanistan, Sam is presumed dead when his Black Hawk helicopter is shot down in the 
mountains. At home in suburbia, the Cahill family suddenly faces a shocking void, and Tommy tries to fill in 
for his brother by assuming newfound responsibility for himself, Grace, and the children.
