What starts as a New Year’s Eve celebration for
roommates Lucy and Stephanie, quickly turns
into a race for their lives. Accidentally uncovering
criminal evidence on Lucy's boyfriend Hazeem,
both girls must flee into the night with him and
other members of his secret "cell" close behind.
The girls find a stranger, Thomas, who tries to
help by fighting off these would-be terrorists.
Eventually all three are kidnapped by
the Al-Quida cell which publicly
threatens to execute them unless America leaves all
Arabic homelands permanently. But Thomas refuses to
accept defeat or be used as leverage.
He challenges, sabotages and resists them at every turn while trying to keep Lucy and
Stephanie safe. Before long the hostages realize the kidnapping was planned months
ago and Lucy (who's parents are wealthy) was not their target but Stephanie who
holds a powerful secret that could shatter the stability of an unconscious nation.
The cell leader has arranged
to bring in a high-profile
reporter to provide a live
interview via internet and
expose Stephanie's
soul-wrenching secret.
But as complications evolve, the plot twists to
reveal that none of them are quite what they seem.
Each holds a painful secret,
which must be confronted before
time runs out.
