A cheeky dismantling of spy tropes and a love letter to Cambodia, THE SENTRY follows a suave Western agent who thinks he's about to make another routine kill. But some stories refuse to be footnotes - and this particular guard isn't finished talking. A genre-bending tale about the extraordinary lives we're trained to overlook.

In this Buddhist sci-fi mystery, a teenage orphan in the slums of Phnom Penh, Cambodia investigates her friend’s past-life visions, uncovering a conspiracy of scientific reincarnation.
