The film stars Nick Cannon, Melonie Diaz, Matt O'Leary, Chi McBride, Jay Hernandez, and Tom Sizemore.

Mike faces telling his friends and family of his nearby deployment to Iraq while dealing with a troublesome home life.

A young Marine named Mike (Nick Cannon) is shipping out for uncertain fortunes in Iraq, and has 4 days left to visit back home in Bakersfield California.

The story is about his parting relationships with his best friend Jake (Matt O'Leary), a new girlfriend Christina (Melonie Diaz), his mother Donna (April Grace), and father Eddie (Chi McBride) over these 96 hours.

None of these people initially knows he's shipping out, and each of the significant other's reactions to this news, one-on-one with Mike, make up the bulk of the story.
