In a climate of tension and disillusionment, a group of American soldiers returns home after a grueling mission in Iraq. Within this community of heroes, Sergeant Brandon King faces the harsh reality of a military system that seems to betray those who have served it. After experiencing hell on the battlefield, King can barely enjoy the civilian life he longed for, as his return is overshadowed by the unexpected activation of the "stop-loss" clause. This mechanism allows soldiers to be retained in service, even after they have completed their term.

Tensions escalate when King, along with other soldiers, embarks on an internal struggle against a system that he feels has betrayed them. The story becomes a powerful portrait of the emotional toll of war and the heart-wrenching realities faced by those who fight. Set against the backdrop of explosions and critical decisions, an intense drama unfolds, pushing the characters to cross lines they never imagined. Will they be able to find their way back home, or will duty force them to return to hell?
