The year is 2002 and Kyle Hunter is a man who seems to have it all. A loving new family, exciting career as a firefighter, and close friends surround his seemingly picture perfect life. When a tragic accident threatens Kyle's life of bliss, his actions set in motion a chain of events that soon place him at the epicenter of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Kyle comes face to face with his greatest fears as he finds himself at the edge of Manhattan's Ground Zero, and soon afterward, ends up stranded deep behind enemy lines as Iraq prepares for the U.S. invasion. He is subsequently taken in and befriended by a local Iraqi family who, unbeknownst to him, secretly possesses strange ties to a world terror organization. At the same time, not far away, the United States CIA is engaged in a race against time to implement its own plot to overthrow a regime long overdue a change. As wartime nears, Kyle finds himself precariously in the cross-hairs of a millennia-long power struggle for world domination. Before its over, Kyle's loyalties to his country, his family, and his profession will be tested as he finds out first hand, what it's like to live as an outlaw Muslim in the Middle East. All facets set the stage for the ultimate showdown between good and evil, as Kyle will be forced into battle against his oldest and most mortal enemy, himself. It is only through darkness, that light can be born.
