On July 4, 2003, a tense, fictional re-creation of a real-life incident unfolds in Sulaymaniyah, a northern Iraqi town. What begins as a routine visit from NATO allies quickly spirals into a detention order that shocks everyone involved: Colonel Sam William Marshall orders the arrest of 11 allied Turkish special forces soldiers along with 13 civilians, forcing them to wear hoods and holding them for a stretch of time before releasing them. The political and personal stain of that day lingers, especially for those who served there.
