A U.S. soldier with nothing to fight but boredom as the Cold War winds down, Ray Elwood (Phoenix) enjoys the rush of trading anything he can get his hands on in West Germany's booming black market... while his inept commander (Ed Harris) is none the wiser. Everything is perfect... until he starts dating the new sergeant's daughter (Anna Paquin). But before he can pull off one last big score, Elwood's escalating personal war with Sergeant Lee (Scott Glenn) will send him deeper into a deadly mess... that may not have a way out!
