During the Iraq War, a team of U.S. Army bomb disposal experts faces constant danger as they work to disarm improvised explosive devices. Sergeant James Murtaugh, a skilled but unorthodox leader, clashes with his team members, Sergeant Jeffords and Specialist Avila, whose caution and adherence to protocol are challenged by his willingness to take risks. As they navigate the volatile environment of Baghdad, the team confronts not only the physical threat of the bombs but also the psychological toll of their work and the complex dynamics within the unit.
