Heval explores the gripping real-life story of British-born actor Michael Enright, who abandoned his Hollywood career to volunteer for the fight against ISIS in Syria. Some thought he was a selfless hero battling America's most insidious enemy; others saw him as a hot-tempered narcissist, staging a publicity stunt to further his career. But when his service ended, neither the UK nor the US welcomed him back. Enright and his complex story captured international attention when several media reports, including an in-depth profile in The Washington Post by Manuel Roig-Franzia, confirmed his participation in the Syrian conflict. Through incisive interviews with the actor, his supporters, his detractors, and top-tier foreign affairs experts -- and featuring the actor's own jaw-dropping, never-before-seen helmet-cam video of deadly battles with and interrogations of ISIS fighters -- HEVAL gives viewers unprecedented access into a war against evil and one man's controversial role in it. Today, Enright is struggling to negotiate his way back into his adopted homeland of the United States. Several prominent U.S. officials have come to his defense but global support is waning and Enright's future is more uncertain than ever.
