In the harsh mountains of Afghanistan, Captain Roger Hill leads Dog Company, a tight-knit Delta Company unit fighting an invisible enemy. When 12 Taliban spies infiltrate his base and trigger a deadly attack that kills two of his men, Hill faces an impossible choice: follow rigid military protocols or protect his soldiers. With a 96-hour deadline to release the captured spies and no support from his superiors, Hill takes desperate measures to extract confessions and prevent further bloodshed. His actions spark a brutal internal investigation that transforms his combat mission into a fight for his own military career and reputation. More than a war story, this is a searing testament to leadership under impossible conditions.
