Twins Aneeka and Parvaiz have been mostly raised by their sister Isma, who put her own life on hold when their mother died. When they finish school Isma resumes her studies and moves from London to the US to complete her PHD. As his twin also begins a new life at University, Parvaiz flounders, feeling he is being left behind by both his siblings. His loneliness and vulnerability are spotted by Farooq, who befriends the young man and slowly but surely converts him to the jihadist cause. The resulting tragedy, in fact a modern retelling of the Greek play Antigone, pits State, family, faith and the individual against each other in a chillingly timely tale.
