The Messenger

Will Montgomery returns home from his deployment in Iraq as a U.S. Army Staff Sergeant and finds himself reassigned to a sobering new role within the military: delivering casualty notifications to grieving families. Partnered with Captain Tony Stone, they embark on an emotionally taxing journey, informing spouses, parents, and children of their loved ones' tragic fate. As Montgomery becomes increasingly involved in the lives of those he notifies, a poignant connection develops between him and Olivia Pitterson, whose world has been shattered by the sudden loss of her husband. This profoundly human story delves into the complexities of grief, duty, and the unexpected bonds that emerge from the most heart-wrenching circumstances.
