Captain Roman Greyson and the remaining men from his unit seek refuge at Camp Virgo in Afghanistan while waiting for the orders for the remainder of their tours. A female soldier, Maya Thomas, is assaulted and has no idea who committed the crime. She accuses no one but wants the right person punished. Greyson and three of his men are detained and sent to Washington, DC, for an inquiry that has more to do with their backgrounds than the crime that took place. A leak to the media of misleading information adds fuel to the opinions of locals, family, and friends, which leads the Army to discharge the four men. After being sent home under the premise of a dishonorable discharge, the four soldiers face media crews and the ridicule of the public in separate locations. To find peace and comfort, three soldiers meet up in Knoxville to have a good time before moving along. Mob mentality in a bar in Knoxville leaves two of the dishonored soldiers dead and the other fighting for his life in the ICU before they have a chance to make it to their former Captain’s home in Charlotte, NC. Greyson arrives home to find that his wife believed the rumors and has been having an affair. With a divorce on the way, the former Captain is on his own when facing the media crews and his neighbors until a concerned therapist forces him into the house and stands up for him. Dr. Wright helps Roman pro bono, only to discover later that she is falling in love with him. Witnessing his father’s death sends Roman over the brink. PTSD and flashbacks shift his frame of mind between the reality of the situation and the unfairness of what’s happened to those he holds the dearest. His problems are only made worse by the guilt of not being there for his mother when she was murdered in her own home. Armed with a few interesting weapons, the killer gives his prey a choice of how they prefer to die by their own hand. The murders are not for nothing; each victim has committed a crime in the killer’s eyes, and he feels that they should be punished immediately. Roman takes Dr. Wright’s advice and keeps a journal of everything that’s happened since the night that altered the lives of so many people since his stay at Camp Virgo. Behind the scenes, General Silverton, one of the men that Roman respects, is running a quiet investigation into the assault on Maya Thomas. He is concerned because the case was not closed or solved. No charges were ever filed, and no one has been tried or convicted for the crime. To make matters worse, he knows that Roman and his men are innocent and wants to help them find the truth. Silverton faces silent obstacles that prompt him to question several key players again about what happened. He discovers a trail of assaults and cover-ups that leads him to believe that only one person committed the crime, but the blame was shifted onto the innocent soldiers by bribery and threats. Another flashback leaves Roman feeling uneasy. He presents his journal to Dr. Wright in hopes of alleviating some of his guilt and finding a way to move on with his life. She returned it, letting him know she couldn’t help him further. Once again, he must take matters into his own hands. Only this time, he is his own judge and jury.
