A synopsis of the movie: For Arty Cooper, the unthinkable has happened. He has lost his only son in the Iraq War. While he grieves and tries to heal, a refugee Iraqi family has moved in next door, dredging up his anger and prejudice. He reacts by shunning them and then begins to build a fence around his property, blocking them out - and his emotions in. When his neighbor's young daughter goes missing, the community is shaken. Arty is suspected and finally confronts his pain and fear only to find that his healing and salvation comes from a most unexpected source.
