From their high school days on Cape Cod to boot camp, Iraq missions, and Nick’s tragic death in a roadside bomb, the film captures their journey and the dreams they fought for. Coville travels the country interviewing fellow Marines to honor Nick’s legacy and the generation who volunteered to serve — believing, like Nick, that freedom comes at a cost. Nick’s father sees the film as both tribute and inspiration, reminding us that living the dream means courage, conviction, and sacrifice. This is more than a story about one Marine — it’s a salute to every soldier who stood beside him.
