Amid the intense and chaotic war in Iraq, a group of explosives disposal specialists faces the reality of an increasingly unpredictable conflict. The story follows William James, a sergeant in the United States Army who joins a new team after the death of his predecessor. From day one, James proves to be a man of action, defying orders and putting his life at risk as he approaches each mission with reckless bravery.
With his bold approach and ability to disarm all kinds of explosive devices, James becomes a polarizing figure within the team, clashing with his more prudently conservative partner, Lieutenant Sanborn, and explosive specialist Owen Elridge, who struggles with the emotional weight of his experiences. As their missions lead them into deadly situations, the tension rises and the war begins to leave deep marks on their psyches.
What should be a routine job transforms into a psychological exploration of danger and obsession, as James starts to question his relationship with life and death, finding a strange addiction to the adrenaline that only the battlefield can provide. With each mission, the line between heroism and madness blurs, challenging the men to confront their own demons while trying to survive in an environment where danger can emerge from any corner.
