Fresh from the intense responsibilities of overseeing the mental health and fitness for duty of 5,000 sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, Lt. Gregory Asgaard thought he was finally stepping into a quieter life. He had a meaningful job with good hours, the love and support of family, and a new home. And then, in the fall of 2018, Greg plummeted overnight from respected psychologist to pariah after being falsely accused of a terroristic threat, a devastating experience that exacerbated his underlying PTSD and obliterated his ongoing efforts at readjustment from military service.
This is the true account of one veteran's fight to reclaim his life and mental health from the nightmare of wrongful incarceration, which resulted in a traumatic head injury and ultimately led to a landmark legal case, forcing a reckoning with the legal system's treatment of the vulnerable within its custody.
