Baghdad, April 2003. A fierce sandstorm chokes the battlefield as two A-10 Warthog pilots, Donk and Billy Bob, embark on a desperate mission. Their friend and fellow pilot, "Coke," is on the ground as forward air controller, fighting to survive and make it home for the birth of his first son. With a U.S. armored unit surrounded and out of ammo, they break every rule of engagement to dive headfirst into the chaos. Dodging a hail of anti-aircraft fire, they risk everything to protect their brother in arms.
