U.S. Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician Sean Carson is the subject of Phil Taylor's next portrait. In August 2012 Sean was killed when the Black Hawk helicopter he was traveling in crashed in Afghanistan. Phil meets Sean's parents in California. There he learns about Sean's ambition to join the Special Forces, his dangerous work diffusing a wide range of explosive devices, the hundreds of lives he saved and Sean's love for his little girl Leila. Back at his studio in Texas, Phil paints a portrait of Sean to help heal the hearts of his family.
