Outline

Gunnery Sergeant Galindez is accused of “gay-bashing” after an altercation outside a gay bar, and one of the key witnesses is Petty Officer Tiner. After Galindez is exonerated, as far as the military justice system is concerned, after a hearing: the State of Maryland then charges him for the same offence and Admiral Chegwidden acts as his defence attorney in the civilian court. Galindez tries to keep another key witness, Manny (Jesse Corti), a personal friend from his past out of this, but Manny wants to frame Tiner as a homosexual.
