In 2002, cable news producer Kim Barker decides to shake up her routine by taking a daring new assignment in Kabul, Afghanistan. Dislodged from her comfortable American lifestyle, Barker finds herself in the middle of an out-of-control war zone.

Amid the militants, warlords and nighttime partying, Barker discovers the key to becoming a successful correspondent.
