In the war-torn Arab state of Qumran, a group of British aid workers have been kidnapped by a local warlord. Lacking resources and fearful of the bad publicity that can accompany failed rescue missions, the British government hires the Company to send in a team to retrieve the captives. However, once on the ground, the group quickly finds that all is not as it appears to be. What should have been a simple hostage rescue becomes something far more complex and dangerous, where one wrong move could have potentially devastating international repercussions.
