action
Soldiers Joe and Paddy work for a private security agency in Iraq. Your employer is a man named Dave. Joe and Paddy's next assignment is to kidnap Shadha, the daughter of an influential man. During their assignment, the two get to know each other better and better and learn more about each other's past. As a result, men mistrust each other more and more. The situation becomes even more complicated when Paddy realizes that Shadha is his only great love, who he left six months ago. Now he not only has to finish his job, but also protect Shadha from his partner who tries to rape and kill them.
When Joe finds out that Shadha is more important to Paddy than his job, Joe knocks Paddy out. He talks to Shadha to find out more about paddies and their past. Shadha tells Joe that she loved Paddy but didn't want to see him again. Paddy had choked her and drugged her to make her compliant. Shadha had only loved him not to feel exclusively helpless and trapped.
Joe wakes up Paddy and tells him that Shadha hates him. Paddy replies that Shadha is the only woman he has ever cared about. Joe then tells Paddy that he killed his friend Ruby for Dave. Ruby was the only person who ever loved Joe. Joe suggests Paddy should make a similar sacrifice for Dave by killing Shadha. Paddy replies that he'd rather kill Dave. However, Paddy can never carry out his plan because Shadha shoots him just as Joe confesses his love to Paddy. Shadha leaves the building. Meanwhile, Joe sees a vision of Ruby, who explains that they all have to pay for their actions and that Joe should end his life. Joe blows himself up.
