US Army Special Forces operator, Corporal Bill Barton forms an unlikely bond with the team's Afghani guide, Ahmad Khali. Their intense, but short weeks together, lead to open conversations on contrasting culture, society and religion, until tragedy befalls both young men, drastically altering their paths in life, until they intersect once again in Ankara, Turkey during an assassination attempt on a high profile religious leader. Both young men are forced to question their loyalties, their trust and their beliefs. Will Bill Barton's sacrifice be enough to persuade Al Qaeda's newest recruit to abandon his mission and help foil the plot, or is Ahmad's new loyalty and religious zeal impenetrable?

A few short months have passed since Agent Barton and Arthur Mason (Ahmad), fled Turkey and the failed attempt at preventing an Al Qaeda plot to assassinate a prominent religious leader. Arthur has taken up residence in Oxnard, California, courtesy of the U.S. government in hopes of leaving his past behind and assimilating into American culture. Arthur's new job with a local delivery company seems innocent enough, until he meets an unsavory character that blinds his common sense with the promise of quick cash. Arthur's motivation to marry his fiancée, buy a home and live the American dream drives his decision, but there is no turning back. While the whole world is focused on the horrific events in Turkey, the CIA is thrust into investigating and averting an impending terrorist attack of epic proportion. The terrorist chatter indicates an attack on one of the 104 commercial nuclear facilities in the US. Newly promoted CIA Director of Domestic Terrorism, Marks, tasks former Delta Force operator, Special Agent Barton as his lead man to head the investigation. Time is of the essence as the agency realizes the magnitude and destruction of a nuclear meltdown. Can he identify the target and the players in time to avert the menacing plot?
