A lighthearted buddy comedy about two bumbling friends who stumble into military service and unexpected heroism, built on friendship and comedic mishaps rather than genuine peril.

Bones Conway and Jack Kaufman, two misguided youths, join the reserves to make some easy money for their entrepreneurial dreams. Unfortunately, no sooner than they finish basic training they find themselves at war as part of the water purification team.
