Spoilers ahead
Brian Keenan, a humorless bearded Irish academic, relocates to Beirut in the turbulent mid-1980s to teach English and, in a cruel turn of fate, is seized by four armed men one ordinary morning. He awakens in an iron-clad room, nearly naked and alone, and his first instinct is to understand why he has been abducted before he will even consider eating. The initial isolation sets a tense tone, as he holds to a stubborn code of self-control, testing the limits of his captors’ patience and his own resolve.
