Upon Eddie Valles' long awaited return home from the Iraqi War, he brings promises of no more combat and more much needed family time. But as he is getting to know his fellow marines at his new recruiting duty, those promises get put to the test. When the unthinkable occurs, and the most devastating attack in U.S. history is followed by a foreign military invasion sweeping through Southern California, Eddie must put those promises aside and join his fellow marines on an emergency defensive strike. As Eddie and his new marine companions, the battery operated grunts, grind through the war torn streets of Southern California, the weight of his broken promises and his homeland in ruins begins to take its toll as he continues to fight off enemies both foreign and domestic.
