When a decorated Marine goes missing overseas, his black-sheep younger brother cares for his wife and children at home—with consequences that will shake the foundation of the entire family. The film tells the powerful story of two siblings, Captain Sam Cahill (Tobey Maguire) and younger brother Tommy Cahill (Jake Gyllenhaal), who are polar opposites. A Marine about to embark on his fourth tour of duty, Sam is a steadfast family man married to his high school sweetheart, the aptly named Grace (Natalie Portman), with whom he has two young daughters, Isabelle and Maggie. Tommy, his charismatic younger brother, is a drifter just out of jail who’s always gotten by on wit and charm. When Sam goes missing and thought for dead, Tommy moves in to take care of the family, and begins a relationship with Grace. Sam eventually returns home to his family but later finds out that his brother and his wife got together during his absence, causing a confrontation with Tommy and Grace.
