"Saleh is a middle-aged Iranian journalist who splits his time between Tehran and the front lines of the war against ISIS in neighboring Iraq and Syria. He finds civilian life to be an unbearably dislocating experience, and can't seem to keep himself from the coalition of soldiers whose willingness to achieve martyrdom both fascinates and appalls him. Torn between these two worlds, Saleh struggles to make sense of himself and the turmoil in his midst."-- Provided by publisher.
