In
market-town England, Ben and Jamie are on a standard drunken night out
with their mates. It’s the usual bender in town, where the lads insult
each other and flirt with the girls who insult them back. But tonight is
different: the next day, the two young soldiers are off for active service in
Iraq.
Out of their
depth and fighting in a war that they don’t understand, the young men are
managing their moral compass, loyally following orders and trying to keep in
touch with their complex love lives. All with bravado that belies the truth of
their fear and vulnerability.
But what is
the impact on these alienated and susceptible soldiers? And what consequences
will their ill-equipped moral codes have on the West and the people they come
home to?
