    • Synopsis
    • Kenny and Kerry marry with secrets that almost blow their young family apart. After their new baby is born, Kenny's PTSD is triggered by his crying. Kenny no longer knows what is real, calls it ‘the screams’. It seems the marriage is over. But Kerry makes a choice - to return to school, study how the brain works, and discovers that suffering isn’t a given - you can “use thoughts to change feelings”. We follow their recovery over ten years, through psychiatric medication, talking therapy, horses, race-cars and ice swimming as they emerge with new insights and resilience for their life ahead.
