After a suicide attack kills 18 people in North Africa, Egyptian-born Anwar, a chemical engineer from Chicago is arrested and transferred to an underground interrogation facility as he is believed to be linked to terrorism. CIA analyst Douglas Freeman must sit in on the interrogations since his partner was killed in the blast. Meanwhile back in Chicago, Anwar’s pregnant wife Isabella is distraught trying to piece together why her husband is missing and gaining little help from the Senate. Douglas believes Anwar is innocent but CIA superior Corrine Whitman insists such treatments are necessary in protecting the public from larger destruction.
