In the Turkish mountains, twenty-first century western espionage clashes with Persian biblical tales. Ed Bennett is retired from the Special Forces and headed for a well-earned vacation with his fiancée, Esther. Under surveillance and only a few days into their stay, Esther is abducted. In a race against time, Ed pursues the kidnappers, desperate to prevent them from crossing the border into Syria. Finding himself constantly blocked by Western governments, all protecting their own interests, Ed realises all is not what it seems. With help from a reporter, Esther’s disappearance slowly unravels to reveal a deadly computer virus at the fore.
