Years after his squad was ambushed during the Gulf War, Major Ben Marco finds himself having terrible nightmares. He begins to doubt that his fellow squad-mate Sergeant Raymond Shaw, now a vice-presidential candidate, is the hero he remembers him being.

The main plot revolves around characters' inability to discern what is real. They are repeatedly told that their memories of an incident are false.

One character murders another by holding a plastic bag over their head. It is brief, but quite graphic.

Sort of. It’s not exactly a hospital, but it’s close enough.

Eh. Sort of. Not as explicitly as you’d expect, but there’s certainly some questionable mother-son dynamics.
