The film stars Andy García, Kim Coates, Deborah Kara Unger, Eva Longoria and Forest Whitaker.

The film begins with Francisco Francis (Forest Whitaker) running in the jungle with his family while soldiers are shooting and killing people around them.

As they attempt to leave the city, they stop at a roadblock and watch soldiers gun down an unarmed man.

The scene changes to Jack Begosian (Andy García) speaking to call-ins on his radio program in Toronto, Canada, Atlanta, Georgia, and Los Angeles, California discussing his pessimism about the government and his faith in the goodness of humankind.

As Jack drives to his home in the remote Canadian forest, Morgan (Deborah Kara Unger) sits shivering in her tub.

Later, she goes to a hospital ribbon-cutting ceremony where Renaldo confronts her as she gets into her limo, accusing Clearbec of murder and telling her his message is in the car.

The filming started in October 2011 and took place on location in Canada, shooting in North Bay, Ontario, Sudbury, Toronto, Atlanta, Georgia and Los Angeles, California.
