AN UNDERCOVER INFORMANT HAS BEEN MURDERED... BUT WHOSE SIDE WAS HE ON?

Toronto: A local terrorist cell is planning an attack on New Year's Day. For months, Mohsin Dar has been undercover, feeding information back to Canada's national security team. Now he's dead.

Detective Esa Khattak, compromised by his friendship with the murdered agent, sends his partner Rachel Getty into the unsuspecting cell. As Rachel delves deeper into the unfamiliar world of Islam and the group's circle of trust, she discovers Mohsin's murder may not be politically motivated after all. Now she's the only one who can stop the most devastating attack the country has ever faced.
