A guilt-ridden proposal puts Sam Wellings in an unusual predicament. Comprehending the ramifications of this proposal, Sam is blind-sided by another unexpected deployment to Iraq, Sam wants to make sure Carson, and his boys will be taken care of legally and rush a wedding before her deployment.
Mistakes from the recent past, put Carson in hot water and he battles with the desire to be open and honest to his new bride, but prolongs the truth from surfacing until a later date.
Dealing with the stressors of deployment, Sam is blind-sided again, when Carson takes the cowardly route and tells her the truth in a letter, and responds with, "I need time to process this" and leaves it at that, until they are face-to-face again; where Sam chooses to forgive and forget.
Unforeseen circumstances poke the beer at both ends and leads to devistation, neither saw coming.
