In our time when quality journalism is being constantly attacked, a courageous and fearless war correspondent named Marie Colvin goes to the most dangerous places in the world to present to the general public good news from those conflict zones. Sometimes, her courage is exaggerated and risks becoming laudatory, putting herself into unnecessary danger. At one of these moments, she is the victim of a grenade explosion and is seriously injured, now being forced to wear a patch. She sacrifices her personal relationships and leaves everything behind for the job, but with the passage of time all the horrors she witnessed are starting to put her mark on her psyche.
