Logline: What would you do if you have one more day to live?---Save another man’s life.
***
An action thriller about an enthusiastic junior officer from The Hague in search of a key witness. But how do you track a man without an ID, protected by a legion of militias?

Synopsis: The arrest of General Miro Antic ends a decade-long manhunt that had repeatedly frustrated his Western pursuers and left festering one of the bloodiest chapters in Europe's recent history. He had been indicted by a U.N. War Crimes Tribunal on charges of genocide and crimes against humanity, but when a representative of the Hague comes looking for a key witness – Nikola Radin, alas the General- the problems begin. Getting out of the wilderness is not easy as locals do not want the officer to testify against whom they perceive as their national hero. The bloody men-hunt will give a life-changing lesson to the young envoy.
