I received this as an ARC.  Chris Longo is a veteran that is bored with this job at Veteran Services so he quits and tries to find something else.  He is contacted by the DoD to do a trial program to help troubled veterans.  Throughout the book he meets 6 veterans in different cities.  I felt like it was implied that Chris could meet with these veterans for a month and figure out how to solve their problems even though no one else had done it to date. One of the veterans he got to stop drinking  which seemed unrealistic to me for the character who had the drinking problem his whole like. Just couldn't get past that plot hole.
