Gary and his comrades Adam, Jacko and Charlie are about to return from Afghanistan. However, they will have to wait for their flight to Cyprus and Gary is keen to bargain to get an earlier plane out of the war zone as they face a 12-hour wait in a sweaty airport hangar.
Gary tries to bribe them onto an earlier flight but is hampered by another squaddie with the same plan. Gary soon finds himself with an even later flight home after being bribed with tickets to Shark World in Cyprus. This is not going to go down well with his chums.
