Plot In March 2016, a drone strike in Pakistan kills the intended target but it also results in collateral damage, taking the lives of several innocents who found themselves at the wrong place at the wrong time. One year later, on the anniversary of the drone strike, Imir Shaw finds himself at the home of Neil Wistin, a contract drone operator for the CIA. Wistin and his family, particularly his distant son, are dealing with the loss of Wistin's father, for whom Wistin is struggling to write a eulogy. While Wistin goes off to pack the rest of his father's belongings up from a home for the elderly, Wistin's wife, Ellen, is followed by Shaw. Shaw captures incriminating images of Ellen engaging in an affair with another man. Shortly thereafter, near a park, Shaw himself evades the capture of a trailing man. Breaking down in grief after packing the last of his father's belongings and donating his clothes, Wistin returns home. While home, Wistin catches Shaw standing outside of his home and goes out to investigate. Shaw claims to be interested in buying a boat Wistin had displayed in the front of his home for sale. The boat was Wistin's father's that he was given when his father could no longer care for it. The two enter Wistin's home to discuss the price of the boat while the CIA track down Shaw as the source of a leak that privately exposed Wistin and the top secret work he and others do as contract drone operators.
