The film looks at the behind-the-camera lives of three international war correspondents on assignment in Afghanistan. When a group of American soldiers in Afghanistan burn the Quran, the incident generates a worldwide controversy and the international news outlets send in their investigative troops.
Waiting for the first bomb to drop turns into a battle with oneself and questioning the mechanisms of modern-day reporting.
