Rory Fanning knows something about going through a rite of passage and becoming a man. Joining the Rangers made Rory a valuable resource to the military, and he is sent to Afghanistan to join the 2nd Ranger Battalion outside of Kabul. Finding himself in a small depressed part of the country, and being used by the townspeople to settle local disputes, Rory grows disillusioned with the purposelessness of his mission. He decides to become a war resister, enduring being ostracized by his fellow Rangers in an environment that discourages critical thought. When ex-NFL star turned soldier Pat Tillman's death is covered up by the Army, Rory is kicked out of the military to avoid further negative attention. Back home, Rory studies the history of American war resistors and finds that although it is a difficult path, he is not alone.
