Inspired by stories from real soldiers, Hyena Road is a taut war action film about Canadian troops in Afghanistan as seen through the eyes of three very different men. From three different worlds, these three men are forced together to overcome a hazardous threat. These three: a sniper who has never allowed himself to think of his targets as human and becomes implicated in the life of one; an intelligence officer who has never contemplated killing and becomes the engine of a plot to kill; and a legendary Mujahideen warrior who had put war behind him and is now the center of the battle zone.
