The true story of Abbas Hameed strips away stereotypes of an Iraqi soldier. As a young boy, Abbas had barely imagined life beyond the Tigris River, but when war broke out while he was completing his obligatory military service, he was suddenly torn between escaping and helping to combat terrorism on his own turf. He decided to help the US military. As an Iraqi citizen, Abbas was standing on shaky ground, poised as a top-level sniper, an enemy of his own people. When a horrific attack blew Abbas into the air, the expert sniper became a target. Had his pursuit of long-lasting peace collapsed?
