1972. An American soldier, Marquette (David Morse), is captured and tortured in Vietnam. At the height of agony, Marquette suddenly finds himself home, living an idyllic life in the US with a loving wife and children that he’s never seen before.

As he struggles to take in what’s happening to him, he discovers the cruel pain of war isn’t over after all. As the clock strikes midnight every night, he is back in Vietnam where his torture resumes a few minutes each time.

Trapped in an unending cycle of pain, he must find a way to endure…unless, with the clock counting down, Marquette can cheat fate.

Escaping will take his wits. And it will require a gun.

Director: Jack Swanstrom
