SYNOPSIS: 

Humanitarian aid worker Jonathan Hernandez is sent to Mali at the behest of his best friend Marina. Once there, he discovers that Marina (counterterrorism consultant for the United Nations) has been harboring a trafficked girl named Kyra -- who happens to be the Prime Minister's daughter. At first, Jonathan declines the call to help Marina get Kyra home, but after a suicide bomber murders Marina, he's left with no choice. 

He executes Marina's plan: to dress up as a human trafficker to receive directives from an al-Qaeda splinter cell's leader, Pierre Mahmoud, to implicate his involvement and return the girl. But the only way out is through the deadly Sahel region, where seven actively operating jihadist groups await.

Logline: 

A Chinese and an American agent are sent to assassinate an immortal Chinese monk who plots against the elite world order, only to find out they are being manipulated into killing a man who can save the world.
