En mission à Kandahar, le soldat américain Kyle et son chien Max tombent dans une embuscade où le maître perd la vie. Retourné aux États-Unis à cause de problèmes post-traumatiques, le berger malinois est sauvé in extremis de l'euthanasie par la famille de son ancien propriétaire. Personne n'est capable de l'approcher, si ce n'est Justin, l'adolescent apathique qui passe son temps à jouer à des jeux vidéo. Avec l'aide de la cousine de son meilleur ami, il arrive à dresser Max et lui rendre sa joie de vivre. Pour les remercier, le chien devient leur protecteur.

SYNOPSIS
A precision-trained military dog, Max serves on the frontlines in Afghanistan alongside his handler, U.S. Marine Kyle Wincott. But when things go terribly wrong on maneuvers, Kyle is mortally wounded and Max, traumatized by the loss of his best friend, is unable to remain in service. Sent stateside, the only human he seems willing to connect with is Kyle’s teenage brother, Justin, so Max is saved when he is adopted by Kyle’s family. But Justin has issues of his own, including living up to his father’s expectations, and he isn’t interested in taking responsibility for his brother’s troubled dog. However, Max may be Justin’s only chance to discover what really happened to his brother that day on the front, and with the help of Carmen, a tough-talking young teen who has a way with dogs, Justin begins to appreciate his canine companion. Justin’s growing trust in Max helps the four-legged veteran revert back to his heroic self, and as the pair race to unravel the mystery, they find more excitement—and danger—than they bargained for. But they each might also find an unlikely new best friend…in each other.
