America in crisis, battered by terrorist attacks, both at home and abroad - this is the future Eric Alter imagines in his searing new drama The War At Dawn. Rodney E. Reyes directs.

Battered by attacks (including a nuclear explosion) inside its borders, America of 2010 is locked in a struggle to survive. On the eve of being shipped out god-knows-where to do god-knows-what, two young soldiers, (one a draftee the other a gung-ho enlistee), stumble into a very private war where it's not a case of winning the battle, but rather simply surviving it.
