After a year of recovering, Mark is trying to piece his life back together but struggles both emotionally and psychologically. He's been a recluse until he forces himself to attend his niece's school play and sees Riley, the school's art teacher. Immediately, Mark feels a connection to her.

If his work in tactical operations for Iniquus's Panther Force hadn't earned him that right, the fact that he lost his legs in the service of his country should've.
