Although Kamran’s mother is from Iran, Kamran has always felt 100% American. Accepted. And then everything implodes. Darius is accused of being a terrorist. Kamran refuses to believe it. But Darius has been filmed making threats against his country, hinting at an upcoming deadly attack. Suddenly, everyone in Kamran’s life turns against him and his family. Kamran knows it’s up to him to clear his brother’s name. In a race against time, Kamran must piece together a series of clues and codes that will lead him to Darius—and the truth.

Unfortunately for Kamran, he’s seen as a possible accomplice whereby Kamran loses both his friends and his future. It all comes down to Kamran having to prove to the world his brother’s innocence, but he knows he can’t do it locked up. Is he capable and brave enough to escape?
