He and his wife Francesca volunteered their dog Pax for the Army's K-9 Corp. Keller Nicholson is the soldier who fought the war with Pax by his side, and he hopes the Stantons will let him keep Pax. Instea, they offer Keller a job as Rick's live-in aide. AS they try to build a new life, Keller and Francesca find themselves drawn to each other, and struggle to keep their attraction at bay.

Pax may be the only one who can guide them home.
