Alexander Siddig (from director Nadda’s acclaimed Cairo Time), Marisa Tomei and Joshua Jackson star in this taut thriller about a man whose long-buried past returns to haunt him.

But when his grown daughter disappears in Damascus, he’s forced to return and reckon with the demons he tried to forget.
