Summary

23-year old Iraqi soldier Latif Yahia is summoned to meet with Saddam Hussein. He’s a near-exact physical match for his son, Uday, who demands Latif become his body double. Latif is given no choice, and trains to walk, talk, and behave exactly like his new master. Latif knows his only chance at survival is a daring escape to freedom in Turkey.
