Threats and a haunting premonition force Julie into a series of schemes to save Duke and the last resort is always the most brutal.

Weakened by a constant barrage of carnage, a tsunami of tragic events hurls Duke into a syndrome known to firefighters as the Tin Man it is 'the toll of valor'. Julie battles her own demons, but she's committed to bringing Duke back. With Julie by his side, Duke rediscovers Christ's presence in his life and the power of forgiveness.
