Synopsis:
Iraqi Insurgents bomb a convoy of US Marines, resulting in the death of their most

retaliation. Their violent house-searches lead to the massacre of 24 people, many
of whom are women and children – tragic casualties of a war they cannot control.
The Marines too are victims, attacked and wounded, and forced to respond in the
way they have been trained. But when events occur at great speed and under extreme
stress, can Marines, in the line of fire, is accused of murder?
