Visiting the band in 2006, Alvi and Moretti quickly discover that life outside the Green Zone is nearly impossible, with lethal danger, unspeakable levels of fear, and upwards of 300 dead every day. Equipped with flak jackets and a security detail of twelve shooters, they learn that the band's practice room and instruments has been destroyed by a SCUD missile. More recently, they caught up with Acrassicauda in Damascus, where they became Syria's first heavy metal refugees. The filmmakers help them put on a show and record a demo, but life as they knew it, their dreams, and their music, has become just another victim of the Iraq War.
