Detective Esa Khattak heads up Canada's Community Policing Section, which handles minority-sensitive cases across all levels of law enforcement. Khattak is still under scrutiny for his last case, so he's surprised when Canada's federal intelligence agency, calls him in on another potentially hot button issue. For months it has been investigating a local terrorist cell which is planning an attack on New Year's Day and had an informant, Mohsin Dar, undercover inside the cell. But now, just weeks before the attack, Mohsin has been murdered at the group's training camp deep in the woods.
