“The war doesn’t end when the guns fall silent.” When Sergeant Daniel Okoth returns from the brutal Zaruba conflict, the uniform comes off—but the war stays with him. Haunted by what he saw and what he did, Daniel struggles to find his place in a home that no longer feels safe. His wife, Achieng, and their young son cling to the man they remember, but the shadows of battle have followed him into every quiet room, every restless night, every strained silence. As Daniel fights unseen enemies within—nightmares, guilt, and the heavy toll of trauma—he finds solace only in the brotherhood of fellow soldiers who bear the same invisible scars. Together, they face a different kind of war: one against memory, isolation, and despair. Set against the backdrop of Kenya’s military involvement in a fictional war, Shadows of Duty is a haunting, deeply human story of courage, family, and the price of survival. It is not a tale of medals or glory, but of men who came home—but never truly returned. Tagline: Some battles follow you home.
