Synopsis: In this tense, thinking person's thriller from the writer and director behind SOUND OF MY VOICE, a covert operative attempts to infiltrate a group of eco terrorists, only to be swept up in their radical left-wing ideals.

“Gripping, intelligent and deeply socially conscious thriller – a singular combination-that hits the bull's-eye both for satisfying entertainment and timely relevance.”~Film Journal International
