While exchanging innocent emails with the son of a Lebanese diplomat, ordinary housewife, mother, and teacher Abbie Wolf learns of a nuclear terror plot years in the making. The family's quiet, Midwestern lives are no longer safe, which forces her husband, Jon, to seek outside help to bring the plot to light and save the people he loves most. He meets G.P. Mehmet, a retired FBI agent of Palestinian descent. At first, the two men have sharply differing opinions and even some prejudice towards the other. Due to the crisis at hand, they are forced to make an alliance. Together, they must untangle a web of terror and deceit that hides the man responsible for a violent plan to alter the balance of power in the Middle East. Mehmet's family is soon in danger, too, including his daughter, Malak, and grandchild, Eryn. He begins to question his resolve: are the Jewish people worth the risks he's taking at Jon's side? He is spurred onward by an unexpected question from his granddaughter, and together, these two family men fight for the lives of an entire nation.
