The story

The film begins with a flashforward of Private Shane Gulliver (Matthew McNulty) of the fictional Northdale Rifles regiment marching to a court martial. The film then cuts to Gulliver, fellow private and childhood friend Mark Tate (Gerard Kearns), and other soldiers from the regiment arriving in Basra, Iraq. The soldiers' commanding officer, Major Godber (Shaun Dingwall), tells them to treat the Iraqi people with respect and adds that, "to paraphrase a certain colonel in the Royal Irish, anyone who needlessly kills or mistreats [...] will have the Mark of Cain upon them".
