Synopsis

A cheeky dismantling of spy tropes and a love letter to Cambodia, THE SENTRY follows a suave Western agent who expects another routine kill. But some stories refuse to be footnotes—and this guard isn't finished talking. A genre-bending tale about the extraordinary lives we're trained to overlook.
