Plot Overview

Darwyn is released from prison and meets up with an islamic terrorist cell that he learned about while in prison. The assumed leader of the group, Farik, is obviously well connected with the larger terrorist movement. However Darwyn is obviously different from the rest of the members, as we learn that he is secretly working with a government agency to bring down Farik and his terrorist plans. Darwyn's consciousness is questioned when one member of the group betrays them by bragging about plans to an uncle in Egypt. Darwyn finally decides that his moral conscious must take a backseat to the larger realities of his work, and he secures a membership in the cell because of it.
