Sergeant REYNOLDS, a man full of emotion who prides himself on saving lives, is an experienced flight medic for Dustoff Three-Two in Iraq. Along with his pilots, Captain MICHAEL PHILLIPS and Warrant Officer JASON SMITH and crew chief Specialist ANTHONY BROWN, they fly into harm’s way to save the lives of the injured. All without mounted door guns.
As the Dustoff missions go by, the crew continues to build camaraderie and relationships. After a mission, a wartime journalist, MAYA SANDERS, approaches the Captain with permission for a ride along. Shortly after her arrival the crew gets called out for a mass casualty at the Baqubah market where two suicide bombers killed and injured Iraqi civilians.
At the blast site Reynolds and Sergeant ASHLEY MOORE, another flight medic, begin loading the casualties. The whole experience with the blood, sounds and getting shot at frightens Maya. She decides this isn’t for her and leaves to get attached to a ground unit.
During a battle brief, the crew is informed they will be assisting in an offensive on the city of Samarra. A last ditch effort to rid the area of insurgents. It will be a bloody conflict with numerous casualties.
Pre positioned outside of the city, the crew waits for the battle to begin. As the offensive kicks off, the bloodshed and destruction is undeniable. The Dustoff crew is called in for numerous casualties, one of which is for Maya Sanders.
After an RPG hits the tail of the aircraft, Reynolds and Brown are stranded while the helicopter returns to base to get checked out. Sgt. Moore saves their lives when she shoots an insurgent coming up behind them.
The last pickup is met with disaster as a sandstorm forces them to sit the aircraft down and wait it out. Doing so costs the casualty his life. This brings Reynolds to an emotional boiling point, but he must shove those emotions down deep and push on, which he finds is easier said than done.
After the offensive the crew is left dealing with their emotions, the bad news keeps piling on when they get word of a sister aircraft that was shot down leaving no survivors.
As the crew does one final mission, it is met with potential disaster when an IED goes off next to the helicopter. With luck on their side they come out unscathed and deliver the final casualties to the hospital.
On the way home from the deployment, the nightmares and second guessing decisions has already set it. Upon arriving home, everyone is searching for their loved ones. Reynolds spots his family and begins crying uncontrollably as he hugs and kisses them. His emotions have finally boiled over as he realizes he is safe at home.
