LOGLINE: A pregnant British reporter goes undercover as an ISIS bride to find her missing husband who is now an infamous ISIS fighter known for his beheadings of Infidels.
Why would you go undercover as an ISIS bride?
Jessica, a British reporter, is arrested trying to cross the Syrian border. The commander doesn’t buy her story that she joined the teen girls from London for an investigative piece. On her way, Jessica finds out she is pregnant but keeps it from the girls. In Syria, they are locked up as sex slaves and sold at an auction. After assaulting a matron, Jessica faces a choice of either going to prison or joining the morality police. To keep her cover, Jessica chooses to…
… torture the teen girls!
She reluctantly carries out her orders while pursuing her real mission. She desperately searches for Abu Jihad, an eccentric fighter known for his public beheadings. One of the teen girls discovers that she is a reporter, but Jessica saves her life. After many failed attempts to get Abu Jihad alone, she kidnaps and tortures him in an abandoned tunnel for the whereabouts of the elusive ISIS leader. He begs for his life and promises to be a good father to her unborn child.
Is Jessica just a jilted wife or a trained spy?
