Synopsis/Details
Forgotten Heroes focuses on three earnest veterans who suffer from varying levels of PTSD from their time overseas. Elyse, the stoic leader with a sleeping pill addiction, Devin, the wildcard hooked on Oxycodone and Tommy, the most stable of the three who copes with meditation instead of pills. Frustrated by the amount of homeless and mistreated veterans they see, they decide something has to be done. They ban together with two friends and plan a heist on a casino that exploits people with gambling issues. What was once a good plan spirals into a nightmare when not all members of the team are working toward the same goal.
This is a story that deals with relevant issues like proper treatment of veterans, PTSD, and mental health, all while telling an exciting action/thriller story. Tonally a cross between American Sniper and The Town that will keep audiences on the edge of their seat.
