Aspiring photojournalist Matty Roth gets trapped in battle-weary Manhattan during America's second civil war. He takes a once in a lifetime opportunity to follow a veteran war journalist into the middle of the DMZ. But taking it leads to more than just a scoop...it leads to a whole new life. Set in a near future where a second American civil war rages, a lone journalist is stranded in the middle of New York City, now a brutal no-man's-land. Mirroring current events, DMZ is an unforgiving look at what a 'war on terror' can do to a civilian population.
