In the gripping narrative of Burn Country, we follow the journey of a resilient Afghan war correspondent, banished from the chaos of his homeland and transplanted into the understated eccentricity of a bohemian community in Northern California. Seeking purpose in his exile, he finds employment with a local newspaper, trading his frontline war reportage for the seemingly mundane task of managing the local police blotter. However, his instincts as a seasoned journalist, honed on the harsh terrains of Afghanistan, guide him to infuse his new role with the intensity of his former "Afghan-style" coverage. As he delves into local crime, what initially appears as a tranquil small-town facade begins to crumble, revealing a grim underbelly laced with corruption and an unfamiliar strain of violence.
