Most of us don't wake up to the thought of dying. At least not that same day. Yet, for Mark Collins, this mindset becomes a regular occurrence. Just another normality in his day-to-day life as a first responder.
Along with the threat of death, Mark battles family issues and workplace drama. And with each new day, he questions his sanity and career path.
Family relations? Try explaining to a nine-year-old why you can't make their soccer game. Or why your chair sits empty for another year at Thanksgiving. And no amount of reasoning can comfort a spouse. Especially when they have nothing but a pillow to hold over those long, unknowing nights.
Companionship? Those individuals outside Mark's career field never truly understand the camaraderie. The trust held in his teammates compares to no other. And contending with inept leadership in the workplace only tests a team's bonds.
Alone Time? It happens. Not often, but it happens. With limited time around those you love, pushing to find time for yourself becomes taxing.
Dark Humor? Trust me, there's a solid reason it exists.
Despite the job's hardships, Mark focuses on three beacons that ground him. His wife, daughter, and teammates. And he soon finds that he needs their support more than ever before. His department receives word that they must take part in an emergency readiness exercise. An exercise Mark finds stacked against him and his team from the start. An evaluation that will decide the fate of his department.
