COLLATERAL DAMAGE explores the invisible costs of war.  What happens when a warrior returns from war with all their physical and psychological wounds and inflicts them on his family? 
 
An idealistic southern Army brat, Laurie Cameron, defies her Colonel/father, as she struggles to stop the Vietnam War, and learns first hand the untold cost of war on her family, but finds solace and redemption in, of all places, stand-up comedy.  After many years she returns home on the eve of her father’s funeral, where she must face her demons and her combative angry alcoholic brother in order to heal their relationship, forgive her father, and make peace with the past.
