He tries to return to normal life, but can't deal with the hustle of city life and settle into normal society. At the advice of the doctor John moves to a farm out of town, hoping that hard work will help banish his demons. John starts making progress in this secret sanctuary. He meets a nearby farmer and his wife, and he befriends their daughter Jess, but his peace is disturbed by a woman who threatens to disrupt his healing and recovery.
