As a soldier in Gaza Niv did something unimaginably awful. so bad it felt like the world should end. But it didn't. The sun rises and falls and drags us all with it, whether we like it or not. Back home in London Niv tries to build a life for himself, start a family, yet the guilt sits like a noose around his neck and the rope is tightening. A tug on the rope, a twist of fate, and Niv is pulled back into the conflict - only now, held hostage by Hamas, he's in a fight for his life. As Niv goes head to head in a battle of wills against Ishmael, his captor, could his worst nightmares finally turn out to be the answer to his prayers?
