It tells the story of the already occupied Mosul special police force in the capital of Nineveh Province in Iraq after ISIS siege. s story. This SWAT team has almost lost contact with the government. Its purpose is not to put on the heavy task of rebuilding Mosul, but to rescue relatives in the ISIS-occupied area who might be slaughtered by religion. Although the main creators of this film gather top Hollywood commercial filmmakers (the producer is the Russell Brothers), they chose the tone of an independent film.

The handling of the atypical ending is beautiful, which is the real and special aspect of the fight against ISIS. The military adviser/training team includes veterans of the US special operations and extrajudicial corps, but the Mosul special forces itself is brought out by the US special operations forces.
