Jacob Panton is hit by a grenade, shot five times by a sniper and dies on the operating table. Miraculously, he is revived and survives the attack by the Taliban on his last patrol in Afghanistan.
Jacob returns home and a tough fight starts for him, his wife and daughter. The now former tank commander is so badly hurt that he cannot return to his comrades in the Armed Forces. He looses his identity and in frustration in how badly the system takes care of wounded soldiers, he slowly finds a new meaning in life. His new life project is to help other wounded veterans return to a tolerable life. Jacob Panton tells his dramatic story of how war can change everything.
