A darkly comedic war adventure that balances heist thrills with moral reckoning, following soldiers whose treasure hunt becomes a collision with the human cost of conflict.

A group of American soldiers stationed in Iraq at the end of the Gulf War find a map they believe will take them to a huge cache of stolen Kuwaiti gold hidden near their base, and they embark on a secret mission that's destined to change everything.
