That's not the only problem, the lights are out because of terrorists, people are desperate, and he's a thousand miles from a little girl he vows to get home to, at any costs. Matt meets people along the way that help him, hinder him, and many want to kill him. Nothing has prepared him for what's in store, not even his days in Iraq.
