Thrust into the heart of the Lebanese civil war, ace correspondent Don Stevens finds himself enmeshed in a labyrinth of deceit and danger. Dispatched to Beirut, Stevens strikes an unlikely camaraderie with fellow English journalist, Mike Jessop, their shared lodgings becoming a sanctuary amidst the chaos. The tides of fortune turn perilously when Stevens secures a seemingly exclusive interview with Yassin Abu-Riadd, the elusive leader of the Palestine Liberation Organization. In a shocking twist, it's revealed that the man behind the façade is an impostor, plunging Stevens into a crisis of reputation and credibility. Desperate to restore his tarnished image and salvage his career, he is thrust back into the war-torn maze, seeking out the puppeteer who orchestrated his downfall. As he delves deeper, he stirs the hornet's nest, with all factions of the war striving to impede his quest. Stevens soon realizes he's a mere pawn in a grand, perilous game, his failure threatening countless innocent lives. A glimmer of hope emerges in the form of Linda Larsen, a Scandinavian doctor whose mysterious connections may lead him to the genuine Abu-Riadd. As Stevens races against time, he must navigate the treacherous labyrinth of conspiracy, where every step could be his last.
