Sergeant First Class William Delequa begins a treacherous march with two Cavalry scouts on a blistering summer morning. Their mission is to establish an observation post to deter enemy forces during a massive war-game exercise at the Joint Reaction Training Command in Camp Polk, Louisiana.
As the soldiers navigate the unrelenting forest for hours on end, they stumble upon a stranger in the wilderness. This stranger is Kurt Munn, a deranged and psychotic husband who has committed heinous acts against his wife, Ava Munn, and her lover, Denis Halberson, deep within the boonies. Personalities clash and tempers flare as the trio of soldiers must decide whether to risk their lives to take action against a madman set on revenge. But the lunatic isn’t the only presence with them in the bush.
