    Summary

    [DISCONTINUED]

    Ever since the checkpoint, Jason Kolchek put up a front. Started lying to himself. He tried and failed to convince himself of matters he knew weren’t true. It was the only way for him to come to terms with taking an innocent life. When a shepherd runs from his crossfire, it takes a turn, and he sees the Green Zone play out again. Refusing to pull that trigger kick-starts a journey reminding him of who he truly is. Salim Othman, an Iraqi Republican Guard, sees right through his bullshit. Their paths cross once again 3 years later to face an all-too-familiar threat.

    They say to keep your friends close and enemies closer. When that enemy is yourself, however, shit gets complicated.

    "I tried so hard to open up and show you what's behind it
    But you didn't need to hear me, 'cause you were supraliminal
    Knew me without an uttered word..."
