When it comes to confronting the PTSD narratives for veterans in dramas, so many take creative liberties to immerse the audience back into the characters' source of trauma, the battles within the war they served in, in the form of flashbacks. Sharing his journey and research alongside co-producer and co-star Matt Davis, Grayhm sought to tell as authentic a story as possible, taking years to finish their research to tell the story of Calvin Cole (Grayhm), a decorated U.S. combat veteran, who is in a court-ordered treatment and is in the care of a VA trauma therapist in-training (Madsen). As my character says on the phone, he discovers that the only way out is through, really embracing that, and trying to show our audience something that isn't reliant on action sequences and these flashbacks of war, but rather than it being the war of the soul, the battle of the Soul, and rather than being the "wolf" as the literal enemy across enemy lines.
