A vicious warlord. An arrogant intelligence agent. The loving father trapped in between. Who will survive their secret war?

Toor Jan is an impoverished Afghan farmer who will do anything to feed his family. His elation after the birth of his first son is crushed by the discovery that the baby needs a medical procedure that only the occupying Americans can provide.

Toor Jan reluctantly reconnects with an American spy handler and agrees to gather information on a notorious Taliban weapons dealer for the promise of his son's medical treatment.

The decision sets the humble family man on a quest that pits him between the reckless American intelligence agent and a criminal warlord that rules the province in an Afghan version of the world's most dangerous game.
