Baghdad, 2004. Called in to take over a U.S. Army Explosive Ordnance Disposal unit after losing a team member to an Improvised Explosive Device, Staff Sergeant William James becomes the new technician. And with the men still reeling from their sudden loss, the three-person bomb squad navigates the battle-scarred city, risking life and limb to clean the bomb-ridden streets of Iraq. But faced with the last 39 days of their rotation, James' reckless disposition and unorthodox approach take a toll on the team's already injured emotional health. When there's no room for error and every second counts, is Bravo Company flirting with certain death?—Nick Riganas
