Exiled and undercover, the mild-mannered literature professor now works as part of a secret group pursuing Assad\u2019s enforcers, who have fled Syria and assumed new identities in Europe \u2013 including the guard responsible for inflicting unspeakable abuse upon him. Covertly communicating their life-or-death decrees through a multiplayer video game, the undercover cell operates in broad daylight but wrestles with how far they can push their retribution in a land that only faintly recalls Assad\u2019s atrocities. With his mother now living in a refugee camp in Beirut, Hamid puts on a brave face and extols his new life, but the cracks begin to show as he becomes consumed by the hunt. Hot on the trail of a man at his local university (Tawfeek Barhom) who bears a striking resemblance to his torturer, Hamid is sure that he\u2019s identified the culprit, but can he convince his compatriots that his intuition is dead certain? Sensitively reckoning with recent history, director Jonathan Millet delivers a tense espionage thriller that explores the opaque relationship between justice and vengeance.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/athome.fandango.com\/content\/browse\/details\/Ghost-Trail\/4154862?cmp=rt_where_to_watch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WATCH NOW<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GHOST TRAIL | 2025 &#8211; 106&#8242;\u00a0 &#8211; Drama, Thriller.
