Cuenta la historia de Mickey Tomlinson (Tom Hughes), un cocinero militar que se presenta al proceso de selección más peligroso que existe: la del Servicio Aéreo Especial (SAS). Dentro del Regimiento de Fuerzas Especiales del Reino Unido, el SAS es la unidad más renombrada de todas, a la que se encargan las misiones más difíciles en los lugares más peligrosos del planeta. Mickey tiene más experiencia militar que la de un simple cocinero, algo que oculta a los demás candidatos. Mickey es aplastado por el proceso de selección, su mente, su cuerpo y su alma piden misericordia, sometido a durísimas marchas forzadas en las montañas, corriendo para salvar la vida durante la prueba de “Escape y Evasión” o sufriendo el peor interrogatorio posible durante la infernal fase conocida como “Cuestionamiento Táctico”. Pero incluso después de todo eso, queda todavía una única manera de probarse a uno mismo: en combate… Son muchos los que intentan entrar en el SAS, pero sólo la élite lo consigue.
