Roger Ferris è un agente della CIA impegnato nella lotta al terrorismo. Reduce da una missione in Iraq che gli ha procurato una grave ferita alla gamba, viene incaricato di infiltrarsi nella rete di Suleiman, un pericoloso terrorista attivo in Medio Oriente e pronto a colpire obiettivi americani. Il piano di Ferris per stanare Suleiman si ispira a un capolavoro di intelligence messo in atto dagli inglesi durante la seconda guerra mondiale: Ferris utilizza come esca un cadavere, attribuendogli l'identità di un agente della CIA, con un falso nome e un falso passato. I terroristi troveranno il corpo, e la documentazione che questi ha con sé farà apparire Suleiman un collaboratore dei servizi segreti americani. A quel punto a Ferris non resterà che tendere l'orecchio per cogliere le voci di tradimento all'interno della cellula. Sembrerebbe tutto facile, se non fosse che Hani Salaam, il capo dell'intelligence giordana, ha dei piani segreti per catturare il terrorista e la sua collaborazione diventa di ora in ora più spinosa. Nel frattempo, Ferris intreccia una relazione con Alice Melville, un'americana che lavora per una ONG palestinese. Alla resa dei conti, Alice si rivelerà il più grande ostacolo per il compimento del piano di Ferris e il maggiore pericolo per la sua vita.

Graham Weber has been director of the CIA for less than a week when a Swiss kid in a dirty tshirt walks into the American consulate in Hamburg and says the agency has been hacked, and he has a list of agents' names to prove it.
