Set in an army training camp, And Kill Them follows a platoon of new recruits through their first few weeks.
Seventeen-year-old Lawrence is consumed with doubts when he finds that the army is not what he had expected.
When his failure to fall into line begins to get him and his platoon into trouble, the peer pressure mounts.
Then, strangely, Lawrence begins to see Scarlet, the pin-up poster on the wall of the barracks, apparently come to life, and his luck begins to change.
Lawrence is convinced that she is his guardian angel, but Scarlet's agenda emerges to be much graver.
