SYNOPSIS

Divergence is a critically acclaimed official entry in over 17 international film festivals. In the tradition of the "Lucky Ones," Critics have described it as the best narrative feature about returning soldiers of the Iraqi war and how Americans deal with 9/11. Divergence tells the tale of two wounded people coming together and grappling with the ramifications of war and loss. Set in a picturesque seaside town on the Jersey shores in the midst of a cold and bitter winter, we are introduced to Tim Lawson, a wounded, disillusioned soldier of the Iraq war. He returns to his home-town on medical leave in an attempt to reclaim a simpler time in his life, after experiencing the horrors of war. By chance he meets Clare O'Neil, a model-beautiful woman whose life has been turned upside down by a fatal accident, forever bonding her personal loss to a nations sorrow. She now hides away in a secluded beach house having all but given up on the world. When a fateful event brings the two of them together, they are drawn to each other in a common bond by their experiences. As their relationship becomes increasingly more passionate, they must make decisions that will have profound effect on the rest of their lives.
