In the rugged landscapes of Kandahar Province in Afghanistan, a squad of Canadian soldiers, commanded by Ryan, is stationed to monitor the safety of a vital road. Unbeknownst to them, danger lurks ahead. Upon spotting signs of peril, they desperately signal another troop to keep their distance. Just moments later, chaos ensues as an explosion rattles the ground, and a hail of gunfire erupts from enemy forces. Seeking refuge, the Canadians barricade themselves in a nearby compound, where a mysterious elder, known as The Ghost, assures them of their safety despite the language barrier, thanks to his two strikingly different colored eyes.
