A routine mission in Iraq becomes a life altering experience for two U.S. Marines in this gritty, intimate war drama. The desert had been completely quiet until one moment, without warning, the silence was shattered by the sound of gunfire. Their squadron decimated and their Humvee stolen, Corporal Kapler (Rob Botts) and Lance Corporal Miller (Gary Weeks) discover that they have no way of communicating with home base, and that their provisions are running dangerously low. To make matters worse, one of their men has been taken hostage by enemy forces. But when the badly injured Corporal Kapler attempts to leave their captured brother behind, Lance Corporal Miller convinces him that is not an option. Now, in order to find the captured Marine and get back to home base, these two determined soldiers must fight to avoid succumbing to the unforgiving desert elements, and strike back at their enemy with everything they've got.
