Synopsis
Alex and Julia grow closer as they work together, but signs of a dark secret in Julia's past start to emerge. Attracted and intrigued, Alex pursues her; the closer he gets, the more dangerous she seems to become. Alex's world comes crashing down when he learns that Julia's tip was bogus, that his story was false - making him partially responsible for the slaugther that ensued. Alex then faces the starkest choice of his life: leave Lebanon beaten, broken and humiliated or risk his life to discover the truth behind the web of lies. With danger lurking at every turn, Alex tries to right the wrong he committed and, in the process, finally becomes the reporter he set out to be. In a nail biting finale, Alex helps Julian overcome her own deadly dilemma, allowing both characters to find redemption amidst the rubble of the city.
