Max and JJ are forced to try and secure safe passage to Marrakech through Syria, a country that hides a troubled past for one of them. Meanwhile, Cassie's former CIA colleague Mark Ellis lands in Syria to help her catch the two fugitives.
Two unlikely friends - and even less likely heroes - become swept up in a cartel's plot to transport uranium across North Africa. The pair face a monumental decision: save themselves or risk everything to prevent a nuclear bomb getting into the wrong hands. Pursued by Cassie Elliott - a highly skilled CIA agent whose life mission is to prevent terrorists from acquiring a nuclear bomb - along with MI6 and a network of traffickers, Max and Mohammed find themselves in the absurd situation of, for once, having to be the good guys.
