Jenna Marston (Zöe Lucker) is an ambitious and committed Army Captain who's nursing a big secret... she's having an affair with her boss, Major Nick Welling (Jeremy Sheffield). It's an affair that could cost them the careers they love, but their passion proves impossible to suppress.

The task of turning social misfits into a crack fighting team, ready for deployment in war zones around the world, is one that takes determination and grit.
