USMC Major Benson Winifred Payne (Damon Wayans), a hardened killing machine, returns from a violent but successful drug raid in South America, only to find out that he was once again not promoted to Lieutenant Colonel. Payne receives an honorable discharge on the grounds that “the wars of the world are no longer fought on the battlefield,” and that his military skills are no longer needed.

After he leaves the military, Payne finds life as a civilian unbearable, and reaches his breaking point. To help adjust, he applies for a job as a police officer; however, during the test to see how applicants handle domestic violence disputes, he overreacts and repeatedly slaps the man who hit his wife in the scenario. Payne is put into jail on charges of assault. His former general visits him and informs Payne that he has secured a job for him that will get him back in the military.

Payne arrives at Madison Preparatory Academy in Virginia, and is informed by the principal (William Hickey) that his job is to train the Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps “green boys”, a disorderly group of delinquents and outcasts who have placed last in the Virginia Military Games eight years running. When Payne sees his company, he immediately tells them that, under his direction, they will win the games at all costs, regardless of their various shortcomings: being overweight, sickly, deaf, cross-eyed, orphaned, or from a dysfunctional home; they are all pushed equally. He clashes with Emily Walburn (Karyn Parsons), the Academy counselor who tries to soften Payne’s discipline with understanding and feelings, particularly towards six-year old orphan Tiger (Orlando Brown).
