The Veteran
A war that never ended. A man undone.
He returned home not in triumph—but in silence.
The war is over, but for one forgotten soldier, the real battle has just begun.
Once hailed as a hero, now just a name lost in the ruins of a collapsing empire, a veteran of the Afghan war struggles to navigate a society that no longer sees him. Haunted by survivor's guilt, tormented by moral injury, and burdened by invisible wounds, he walks the crumbling streets of his hometown—where urban decay mirrors his own fractured soul.
As he records his memories in a desperate confession, a young journalist stumbles upon his story—uncovering a tale of broken promises, trust and betrayal, and the dark cost of forgotten wars. But is this the truth, or one last cry from a man being erased?
Set against the bleak backdrop of a dying regime, The Veteran is a harrowing psychological thriller about isolation, emotional damage, and the search for redemption in a world that refuses to remember.
This is not just a story of war.
It's the story of what comes after.
Of a man undone—and the ghosts he can't leave behind.
