The short film, Rogue, is an unflinching look at the cost war has on its soldiers once they have left the battlefield and the life and death choices they have to make on it.
Rogue follows Noah a former soldier as he struggles to connect with his girlfriend and his present life while trying to forget the past.
We jump from present into Noah’s memory and find his platoon providing security at a small outpost in Northern Iraq. Noah leaves Ethan, his second in command in charge while Noah runs a small recon mission. Upon returning to the outpost Noah finds it overrun and Ethan the lone survivor. Noah and Ethan argue about what has transpired, responsibility and the rules of engagement. Ultimately Noah will blame himself and look for a way to make it right.
As the story unfolds Noah awakes from sleep only to find himself in a daze. As soon as he closes his eyes he goes right back to place we left him and thus repeats a never-ending cycle as he re lives the nightmare over and over again.
