In the dead of the night a lone soldier runs for his life. In a blind panic he stumbles and falls. His pursuers move in for the kill. No mercy. But this isn't war it's murder... a U.S. Soldier gunned down by his own for breaking the rules. Shipped to the military's Fort Chaney to investigate the killing undercover specialist John Murphy (Antonio Sabato Jr.) masquerades as a new recruit and joins an elite squad under the command of Colonel Straus (James Remar). It's not long before Murphy realises it's the fanatical Straus and his platoon who are judge jury and executioner in the trial of any soldier who steps out of line. But just as he's about to make the bust Murphy's cover is blown. For his betrayal he's sentenced to death by Straus and on the run knows he must kill or be killed...
