In a conflict that lasted 11 years and took more than three million lives, four men are going to experience the longest 28 days ever.

With few rations and dwindling ammunition, the only thing that separates them from freedom is 100 miles of ruthless terrain crawling with unseen enemies. They don't want to win any war, they just want to make it home alive.
