n When an environmental group<br />

called The East threatens war on<br />

three pharmaceutical companies,<br />

they hire Sarah (Brit Marling), a<br />

security consultant, to go undercover<br />

and expose the activist group.<br />

Though the eco-terrorist cell’s actions<br />

are brazenly violent, Sarah slowly<br />

comes over to their side. Meanwhile,<br />

The East’s charismatic leader<br />

Benji (Alexander Skarsgård of TV’s<br />

True Blood) starts wanting out of<br />

the group but doesn’t know how to<br />

make his exit without betraying his<br />

convictions or his followers. Things<br />

get heated when The East follows<br />

through on its threat of war—and<br />

Sarah and Benji fall in love without<br />

knowing the truth about the other.<br />
