Synopsis

In the quiet hum of a call center, Karla once found contentment and love in her marriage to Zaid Yakin. Their life seemed a portrait of happiness, unmarred even by the passing of her father-in-law. But the tranquility shatters one fateful night when Karla awakens to find Zaid and their son, Hamy, vanished without a trace. As the Federal Intelligence Service unveils a chilling investigation, Karla is thrust into a world she never imagined. Her husband, a man she trusted implicitly, stands accused of plotting a terrorist attack in his homeland of Sudan.

Determined to uncover the truth and save her son, Karla embarks on a perilous journey to Africa, cloaked in the anonymity of a burka. As she delves deeper, she uncovers a web of deception: Zaid's family are not the impoverished kin he described, but powerful arms dealers. Her husband, a sleeper agent, is poised to make the ultimate sacrifice as a suicide bomber, targeting the heart of the Christmas market. In a race against time, Karla must confront the betrayal, navigate a labyrinth of danger, and fight to reclaim the life she once knew.
