Evan Nine, Port St. Lucie resident, makes his living entertaining people on the happiest day of their lives. As a wedding entertainer, he leads first dances, helps cut the cake and announces the new couple — all of the accoutrements of the bride and groom’s big day.
Meanwhile, a world away, in a place we’re not allowed to mention, his daughter, Hayley barely in her 20s, wears the uniform of a warrior, serving her country in a land many of us have probably never heard of. Her life is spent not knowing what tomorrow will bring. So is Evan’s.
