Trigger Warning: A Special Operations Engineer in Afghanistan
In "Trigger Warning," journey with Nathan Bolton, a former Special Operations Engineer, as he confronts the relentless horrors of combat in Afghanistan. Tasked with detecting and disarming deadly IEDs, Nathan's tours are a combination of chaos and peril, where every step could lead to death or maiming. But the true battleground lies within, as Nathan grapples with the shadows of trauma and the desperate pursuit of his father's approval.
Post-war, Nathan descends into the abyss of despair, contemplating an end to his suffering. Yet, salvation arrives in a most unexpected form—a battered off-road racing sidecar, an echo of his father's past glory. Through racing, Nathan finds purpose and begins his ascent from the depths of darkness.
But this journey is not merely about survival; it's about reclaiming his humanity. Nathan learns that true bravery isn't found in the heat of battle but in the vulnerability of facing one's inner demons. His metamorphosis from a broken warrior to a beacon of resilience is a testament to the power of courage and the indomitable human spirit.
"Trigger Warning" is a raw and unflinching portrayal of the scars of war and the triumph of the human soul. It's a rallying cry for those battling their own demons, a testament to the enduring power of hope, and a reminder that even in the darkest of times, redemption is possible for those brave enough to seek it.

Thought provoking and inspiring. Nathan shows courage and vulnerabilty in sharing of his military experiences and consequential personal battle with PTSD. He shows how pain and suffering can actually become strength and proves that there is hope with the right support and personal perserverance to once again live life with purpose, meaning, and health again.
