Disheartened when his story about Canadian snipers possibly mutilating corpses in Afghanistan is buried by his editor, Luke quits his job but is more determined than ever to get the story. Thanks to the generosity of a relative of his best buddy, Tom, Luke gets the money he needs to make his way back to Afghanistan. While there, he sets to gathering evidence for his story but soon finds that Afghanistan is an even more dangerous place than when he left. To make matters worse, his old friend and fixer, Mateen, has been hired away by Luke’s nemesis, journalist Imran Sahar. Soon, the trip for Luke and Tom turns into a surreal and perilous adventure, a journey into an alternate reality, filtered through a haze of hash and gun smoke.
