When Andrew Briggman — a young soldier in the US Army during the invasion of Afghanistan — witnesses the murderous behavior of fellow soldiers, under the direction of a malevolent Sergeant, he faces a moral dilemma. His increasingly-violent platoon becomes suspicious that someone in their ranks has turned on them, and Andrew begins to fear for his safety. A fictionalized dramatization based on a true story.

He attempts to convince a Middle Eastern student Lydia to spy on a revolutionary group operating in her university, which may have ties to Munathma. Will Lydia work for George or leave him out in the cold?
