US Army Ranger Briggs is determined to regain his place at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington. His superior officer agrees to return him to the fold if he can successfully escort a Belgian Malinois military working dog named Lulu to Nogales, Arizona to attend the funeral of her handler, Sergeant Rodriguez. It sounds like a simple drive against the clock, down the Pacific Coast in a 1984 Ford Bronco, to a fellow soldier’s memorial. Unfortunately, Lulu isn’t man’s best friend.
