In the scorching deserts of the Middle East, a young Marine named Swoff (Jake Gyllenhaal) struggles to come to terms with the harsh realities of war. Fresh out of boot camp, he's thrust into a world of heat, dust, and uncertainty, where the enemy is elusive and death lurks around every corner. As he navigates this alien landscape with his comrades-in-arms, Swoff grapples with his own demons and the weight of his family's military legacy. With dark humor and camaraderie as their only refuge, Swoff and his fellow Marines cling to life in a place they don't understand, fighting for a cause they barely comprehend. Can they survive this brutal test of wills or will it destroy them?
