Col. Tony Stone (Woody Harrelson) is a career army man burdened with the realization that his battlefield experience is minimal at best. As a casualty notification officer, Stone's duty "from 0600 to 2200 hours" is to personally inform families of the war deaths of their sons, daughters, husbands, and wives. Stone is accompanied on his missions by Staff Sergeant Will Montgomery (Ben Foster), a decorated young soldier still recovering from injuries suffered in battle. Under Stone's tutelage, Montgomery learns the methods and protocols of one of the most harrowing jobs in the military.
