"Hyena Road" tells the story of three men in Afghanistan. A Canadian Army intelligence officer becomes entangled in a conspiracy that confronts him with death and killing. A cold-blooded Canadian sniper forms an emotional connection with one of his victims for the first time. And a Mujahideen who has renounced fighting is unwillingly drawn into the heart of the war against the Taliban. Not only do the men's stories intertwine, but a Canadian general also wants to build a road through Afghanistan to finally defeat the Taliban. But the project is doomed from the start.
