Badland

Overview

Once an idealistic soldier during the first Gulf War, Jerry (Jamie Draven) returns to Iraq years later as a weary father of three, disillusioned by unfulfilled dreams and broken promises. The traumatic events he endures in combat leave him scarred and struggling to adapt to civilian life. Living in poverty, Jerry finds his children frightened of him and his wife, Nora (Vinessa Shaw), distant and resentful. When Jerry learns of Nora's betrayal, his simmering rage and despair push him to commit a shocking and irreversible act, one that eclipses the horrors he faced on the battlefield.
