If terrorists took away your life, what would you do? Soraya is a lively and determined seventeen-year-old. She idolised her activist mother – until her mother walked out, a year ago. Her father is sunk in depression and away on business most of the time. Who can blame her for falling for an enigmatic Tunisian, who wants to know about the relationship her mother had in her student days with a notorious terrorist, and then wants her help in a string of subversive acts? Against her will, Soraya is dragged further and further into the world of terrorism, until she makes the decision that will change her life – and the lives of many others - for ever.
