On the fifth anniversary of the end of the civil war in Bosnia, former hot-shot reporter Simon Hunt mysteriously shows up, five years after imploding on live television and disappearing into a self-imposed exile. Reunited with his cameraman, Duck, who has been promoted to a cushy studio gig working with anchorman Franklin Harris, Simon convinces Duck to go on a dangerous journey to get an interview with the wanted war criminal known as the Fox, based on the real-life Radovan Karadicz. They are joined by Ben, the Harvard-educated nephew of a network executive who is in search of adventure and a good story. Together the three drive deep into Serb territory, facing more intrigue and danger than they ever could have imagined.
