A high-octane military thriller built on sustained combat tension and moral ambiguity, where elite soldiers are caught between competing forces in a siege scenario.

An elite squad of Navy SEALs, on a covert mission to transport a prisoner off a CIA black site island prison, are trapped when insurgents attack while trying to rescue the same prisoner.
