| Summary |
"Burn Country" tells of the story of an Afghan journalist reporting on a backwoods corner of America. Leaving behind his life as a fixer for Western journalists covering on the war in Afghanistan, Osman (Dominic Rains) finds himself in a small bohemian town in Northern California working as a crime reporter for the local newspaper. Restless and eager to penetrate the mysteries of his new home, he befriends the unstable hot tub craftsman Lindsay (James Franco) and an elusive local actress named Sandra (Rachel Bresnahan) while living on the couch of the town sheriff (Melissa Leo). But when Lindsay goes missing under troubling circumstances and Osman tries to find him, he is drawn deep into the community's dark and difficult-to-fathom peculiarities.
