War drama centred around Canada's presence in the Afghan conflict. When a journalist (Nick Stahl)'s exposé about the mistreatment of soldiers in Afghanistan is rejected by his paper, he risks his career by flying to the warzone to uncover the truth about the story himself. He travels with his friend Tom (Nicolas Wright), who funds the trip, to try and gather enough evidence to get his story back in print. But as he travels through the warzone, he finds his advisor Mateen (Stephen Lobo) has switched his allegiances to a rival journalist and that the dangers facing him in the war-torn country have only increased since his last visit.
