The story

In North Africa, CIA analyst Douglas Freeman briefs an agent. A suicide attack kills the agent and 18 civilians; the target was high-ranking police official Abbas-i "Abasi" Fawal (Igal Naor), a liaison for the United States who conducts interrogations with techniques amounting to torture, but Fawal is unharmed. Egyptian-born Anwar El-Ibrahimi is a chemical engineer living in Chicago with his mother, his pregnant wife Isabella, and their young son.
