Having devoted twenty years to the Marines, the most recent of which has been haunted by a botched mission that got many of his men killed, Nantz is ready to call it quits, but the Corps has other plans, assigning him to replace a platoon sergeant.

One (R&B singer Ne-Yo) is on the verge of marriage and not enjoying the preparations. One (Noel Fisher) is just 17 years old, having received parental permission to enlist. To help identify and humanize them, the leading soldiers get distinctive stories.
