In the treacherous landscape of modern Afghanistan, a team of Canadian soldiers finds their mission complicated by the intricate and unwritten rules of war. Directed by and starring Paul Gross as a seasoned intelligence officer, the film follows three interconnected lives: a veteran sniper, played by Rossif Sutherland, a young female intelligence analyst portrayed by Christine Horne, and a legendary local mujahideen leader known as "The Ghost." Their paths converge on Hyena Road, a vital and deadly supply route, where military strategy clashes with tribal loyalties and age-old codes of honor. This gripping drama explores the fog of conflict, where every tactical decision carries moral weight and the line between ally and enemy is perilously thin. As operations escalate, the soldiers must navigate a complex web of trust and betrayal, discovering that winning a battle can sometimes mean losing the war for the hearts and minds of the people.
