In Afghanistan, a decade-old war rages on. Here the Second Platoon of the 23rd Route Clearance Company is on a mission to blow up an enemy bomb, while the Third Platoon must use their massive, specialized vehicles to draw away enemy fire. But not everything goes as planned.
Both platoons of the 23rd Route Clearance Company are on the same mission: clear the way for British troops to raid an insurgent compound. However, a critical mistake is made during the helicopter landing and the platoon must think fast to recover.
Insurgents place a roadside bomb at the front gate of the company’s base. The situation goes from bad to worse when the platoon’s vehicles get stuck in Afghanistan’s notorious sandy desert -- making the entire convoy sitting ducks.
