Synopsis

A taut thriller about a man whose daughter disappears in Damascus, forcing him to return to the country he left behind more than three decades ago. Adib Abdel Kareem (Alexander Siddig) escaped from Syria and built himself the perfect life in Toronto. With a wife and two grown daughters, no one would have suspected that he came from such a haunted past. But his new life did not come without consequences, as Adib had to leave the love of his life, Fatima (Marisa Tomei), behind. When his eldest daughter, Muna, suddenly disappears in Damascus, he knows he is the only one who can save her, forcing him to return to his homeland again. Once in Syria, he enlists the help of Fatima and a Canadian Consular official (Joshua Jackson). Although he seems helpful at first, the man turns out to know more about the situation than he initially lets on. With the odds stacked against him, Adib must now face his sordid past as a young military policeman—putting everything on the line, he risks his life for the sole purpose of trying to save his daughter's.
