Brothers in Arms tells the story of Eagle, a Danish platoon commander positioned in Afghanistan and his cooperation with the local police captain, Fareed. In spite of cultural and linguistic differences, their men fight side by side to improve security in the war torn region. But, when an Afghan officer turns his weapon against the Danish soldiers, the cooperation and growing friendship between the two leaders is put to a grave test. Before the men have time to react, the traitor vanishes leaving Eagle wounded and his interpreter dead. Eagle is shipped back to Denmark, but as soon as he recovers from his wounds he returns to Afghanistan, determined to continue his duty as if nothing ever happened.
In a country where nothing is black and white and corruption permeates everything, truth can be hard to find and trust is a matter of life and death.
