Due marines della base militare USA di Guantanamo a Cuba sono deferiti al tribunale militare per l'omicidio di un commilitone. Studiando la pratica, il trio dei difensori si convince che fu un'applicazione di "codice rosso", la norma non scritta che impone dure correzioni fisiche ai compagni che sbagliano e che, data la rigida disciplina, non poteva non essere stata autorizzata, anzi ordinata dai superiori.
