XYZ Films represents US sales and Elevation Pictures holds Canadian rights to the thriller starring Rossif Sutherland as an American doctor on the run in Laos after he intervenes in a sexual assault and finds himself accused of murder.

The film will premiere in Discovery on September 15. Sara Botsford, Douangmany Soliphanh and Vithaya Pansringarm also star. Nick Sorbara produced and Todd Brown, Mattie Do and David Miller served as executive producers.

This is a potentially breakout festival for Sutherland, who also stars in Canadian war film and upcoming Toronto world premiere Hyena Road.
