A sharp but inexperienced military lawyer is assigned to defend two Marines accused of murdering a fellow soldier at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base. He is inclined to broker a plea deal, but his co-counsel suspects a darker secret. They gradually uncover a high-stakes conspiracy and a code of silence that points to a decorated, intimidating colonel at the top of the chain of command, leading to a dramatic courtroom confrontation to uncover the truth.
