In 1983, in war-torn Lebanon, Robert J. Doyle ordered
the complete destruction of an unsuspecting village. As
he walked through the carnage later, he vowed one day
he would somehow pay off the loss of innocent lives.
Later, Doyle decides to become a volunteer firefighter
and paramedic. He feels that with each life and property
he helps to save; he makes a payment on his debt. For
years, as Doyle responds to his community’s calls for
help he ignores his own needs. To counteract flashbacks
brought on by burnout, Doyle uses alcohol to keep going.
Still, the memories of the destruction and dead villagers
compels him to respond.
The Volunteer centers on one man’s struggle with to
find inner peace. And examines the question of what
compels volunteers to respond no matter what time of
day or night, to sacrifice their time, financial resources,
their talents, and even their lives in the service of their
communities.
