Growing up in Syria in the 1990s, Sami's childhood was unremarkable - until he founded a successful internet company - which landed him on the regime's radar. Assigned to the mapmaking division, Sami yearns to simply serve his time and go home, even as he finds himself literally charting the course of the army's response to the growing revolt. Sami realizes that it is not enough to endure Assad's regime - he has to resist. He has to return home, to the city that will become known as the "capital of the revolution." Based on true events as told to journalist Eva Nour.
