Allegiance

Lieutenant Danny Sefton, a young Army officer, faces a moral dilemma weeks before his deployment to Iraq. Assembling with his National Guard unit, he learns that his plans have changed from non-combat duty to a risky frontline mission. With his focus turning to ensuring the well-being of his troops, Sefton is approached by Medic Specialist Chris Reyes, who confides in him about urgently needing to stay home due to family circumstances. Reyes's request puts Sefton in a difficult position, forcing him to weigh his loyalty to his unit against his compassion for Reyes's familial obligations.

Tensions further escalate within the unit as members react to Sefton's apparent favoritism toward Reyes. Meanwhile, Sefton deals with his own internal conflicts, marred by the relentless pressure of military hierarchy and a growing sense of doubt about the mission. As the departure date looms closer, Sefton has to make critical decisions that could alter the futures of everyone involved. His actions not only test his leadership but also push the limits of his personal values, making him question the true meaning of duty and honor.
