Set in the days that led up to the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and the Armenian Genocide during World War I, the epic period drama follows an Armenian medical student, named Michael (Isaac), as he forms a very close relationship with a beautiful woman, named Ana (Le Bon) while studying in Turkey.
However, when Ana's boyfriend, Chris, a respected American war journalist (Bale), learns that the country has become unsafe for Armenians, he warns Ana and tells her that she must leave immediately. Meanwhile, Michael is organizing an escape route for Ana and their people. And while they may have started their relationship as rivals, Michael and Chris come together for one common goal: to protect the woman they both love.
