Baghdad 2003. Saddam Hussein has been thrown out of power and US-led Coalition forces now occupy Iraq. Muhsin Al-khafaji, a care-worn but resilient ex-Iraqi Police Inspector no longer recognises the country that surrounds him. When his eldest and recently estranged daughter, Sawsan, goes missing he makes it his sole aim to track her down and bring her home.

Khafaji is called to a Coalition Authority safe house, where a dead Iraqi man has been discovered. His suspicions are further aroused when he witnesses an attack on the Green Zone.

Khafaji goes in search of truths about his daughter, but is surprised by the arrival of Frank Temple.

Temple discovers his money is missing and has Khafaji arrested on false charges. On a raid, Parodi sees a photograph of three girls - who are they connected to?

Zubeida and Khafaji join forces in the hunt for Sawsan but their lead goes cold. A brutal murder is uncovered in the Green Zone and Parodi starts to suspect Temple of a darker involvement in the case.

Khafaji is made an offer he can't refuse and plans to get his family out of Iraq unscathed. But will he succeed?
