Filled with rage and thirst for revenge, Holly kills her attacker on the day when he's released from jail. She then flees her country on a false passport, and during her flight to Dubai, she meets a charismatic stranger, Ahmad, who completely transforms her life. During her stay in Dubai, Holly is approached by an FBI agent, Jim Sloane, who asks her to spy on Ahmad for him, as Ahmad is suspected of being a terrorist by the FBI. Holly accepts the task, but soon she becomes emotionally invested in Ahmad and his cause. Holly finds herself stuck between love, loyalty and her conscience. Trained in militant camps and completing her different missions, Holly is drawn into plots that lead towards the events surrounding 9/11 - she falls deeper into extremism. Completing her every mission successfully, Holly soon realises that her every decision has a consequence. This story is a powerful warning about how traumas and manipulation can make someone choose a path they never imagined they would go.
