Seventeen-year-old Nadia is proud to be a Syrian Muslim. She feels detached from her Westernized female cousins and is incensed after witnessing their brother, Fowzi, being carted away by the secret police. Nadia's zealotry draws her toward an underground extremist movement for which she volunteers to be a suicide bomber. Nadia's first-person perspective is at once illuminating and unsettling.
