He is a devout Muslim. Or is he? He says his name is Issa. Annabel, an idealistic young German civil rights lawyer, determines to save Issa from deportation, even if the price is her career--and her safety.

Meanwhile, scenting a sure kill in the "War on Terror," the rival spies of three nations converge upon the innocents.
