Set against the stark reality of the 1982 Falklands conflict, the film follows Scots Guards officer Robert Lawrence MC during the Battle of Mount Tumbledown. After an Argentine sniper strikes him in the head, he is left with left‑side paralysis and must confront the physical and emotional challenges of his new disability, without any glorified triumph or parade.
