Court-Martialed, and sentenced to death, Ryan Knight served the United States Army as a Black Operations Operative in the Green Beret before murdering his commanding officer. After escaping certain death by sheer luck, Knight begins a new life after enlisting in the Coalition of World Leader's Army. Although his skill in combat, natural ability to lead, and his intelligence allows him to rise through the ranks easily, his past would slowly return to haunt him. However this time the stakes are much higher with a new platoon, his desperation to hide his past, and no way out until his duty is done.
