The story line, although in fiction, was set in the last days of the Second World War in the Philippines, particularly the Bessang Pass in the island of Luzon. The combined Filipino and American military forces are having a hard time in defeating the Japanese Imperial Army. Because of this situation, many military personnel and civilians on the side of the Filipino and Americans caught between the opposing forces are dying in large numbers everyday. Equipment and logistics in large quantities are also lost during the same time. The top brass of the United States Armed Forces in the Far East (USAFFE) decided to select six Filipinos from various several guerrilla units under its command to execute a mission codenamed “Mission X-310”:Over There

Jack Kelley volunteered for Vietnam. As an army captain, he routinely led his company of 140 men on patrols in the jungles near Biên Hòa. Ill-conceived orders came down from higher command: On June 29, 1966, Capt. Kelley was to spread his platoons 1,000 meters apart in order to cover more area while looking for Vietcong forces. During the patrol, the 3rd platoon stumbled upon an embedded Vietcong main force battalion. Outnumbered by nearly 10 to 1, the platoon was blindsided by a fierce attack. The triple-canopy jungle was dense and the terrain muddy, making rescue all but impossible. The film is a journey to understand what the filmmaker's father and seven survivors went through in 1966, and what they continue to go through today. Some volunteered for the army as teenagers. Others were drafted. Some went back to Vietnam years later with the hope of finding closure and peace.
