Two soldiers form an unlikely friendship during the Iraq war: Kevin, a fervent optimist, and Mark, a cynical pseudo-philosopher. When they are captured, their time as POWs tests every instinct for survival, but only one comes home. Although he is maimed physically and emotionally, he is discharged under Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. Steeped in nihilistic anger, he makes an unstable return to civilian life.

The aftermath of their captivity exposes the tragic secrets of these two soldiers’ lives, contentiously intertwined with both sides of American politics, Christian faith, and the struggle for gay rights. Remnants of Light uses the debate and repeal of the DADT policy to illuminate the moral, ethical, and emotional quandaries of its characters—and modern America.
