Overview
Four US military men go on a routine check of an unmanned area because drones say there is movement. They don't see anything, so they begin to make their way back to the Humvee when they are suddenly ambushed by a bunch of enemies. They get trapped, trying to figure out how to survive. The odds are not in their favor. A decision has to be made, and true heroism is the answer.
