Treehouse Pictures is fully financing the film, which Gordon has shepherded from its inception.

The movie is based on Roessner’s experience as a machine gunner in Iraq’s Sunni Triangle.

The story centres on Matt Ocre (Hoult), who is part of a mission to repair a broken water system in the dangerous and unstable Iraqi village of Baqubah.
