- Synopsis:
November 2003: Baghdad is occupied by US-led coalition forces. Amid the chaos is the remains of a broken family: Iraqi ex-policeman Khafaji (Waleed Zuaiter) has lost everything and is battling daily to keep himself and his sick daughter Mrouj (July Namir) safe only to be forced into a desperate search when his estranged elder daughter Sawsan (Leem Lubany) goes missing. A case of mistaken identity soon sees Khafaji become the victim of arrest and torture at the hands of the US military. British ex-police officer, Frank Temple, uses this to pressurise Khafaji into working as a police officer in the Green Zone. But unbeknown to both Temple and his coalition nemesis, the upstanding American Military Police Captain John Parodi (Corey Stoll), Khafaji is compelled by his own, secret reasons to risk everything by collaborating with the occupying forces. As this addictive crime thriller unfolds, Khafaji finds himself embarking on a wider quest, not only for his family but for justice in a society that has become lawless. - Actors:
