A father looks for the murderer of his military son. Hank is an ex-military police investigator whose soldier son who just came back from the MIddle East is now missing. He heads his own investigation. When his son's burned body is found on semi-military property, the case is assigned to Detective Emily Sanders. Their investigation seems to go nowhere since the military is not being cooperative with either of them. Hank is led to believe that his son might have been a victim of a drug deal gone wrong, but when he violently interrogates a suspect, he is still left without answers. As he asks more military guys who knew his son about what they know, he is suspicious since their answers do not add up. He also learns that his son experienced post-traumatic stress disorder from his tour, and he also beat up prisoners abroad. Finally, Hank learns the truth, that on a night out with friends, he simply got into a squabble with them, and they decided to kill him since all of them were obviously a product of the atrocities of war.
