In the early days of the Iraq War, a split-second decision made by a U.S. Marine during a tense standoff devastates an Iraqi family. Years later, aided by a New Yorker journalist, he seeks to reconcile with the family he destroyed.

Follows the fraught dynamic between a lonely boy and his mother within the home that may feel more like a prison to them both.

Inspired by an actual 911 call placed during a school shooting incident in Atlanta, Georgia. Nominated for an Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film at the 90th Academy Awards in 2018.
