Decorated U.S. Army combat veteran Calvin Cole (Steven Grayhm), is court ordered into treatment and into the care of a VA trauma therapist in-training (Academy Award Nominee Virginia Madsen), who works the night shift at a local diner to pay for college. Things become even more complicated when Calvin's father-in-law and retired Vietnam Veteran (Emmy Nominee Vondie Curtis Hall), shows up on his doorstep, having just been released from prison. As Calvin’s plan to run away from his life becomes impossible, he learns through support from his community, tough love, and compassion that he must put himself back together again for his family – and for himself. 

Shot on location in Western Massachusetts,  SHEEPDOG is the first film that truly explores the physical and psychological repercussions of trauma, with a focus on Post Traumatic Growth (PTG). It is an uplifting original story, inspired by countless first-hand testimonials about recovery, redemption, and the journey of healing; themes that now mirror our post-pandemic zeitgeist. Top Film Critic Tony Toscana calls SHEEPDOG, "One of the best films of the year."
