Who Will Stumble and Fall

After a deadly demonstration in Riad Square in Douma, a city on the outskirts of Damascus, Saira joins the resistance against the Assad regime. A year later in the Siege of Homs, Saira is working as a nurse in a first aid clinic when she meets Cole, an American foreign correspondent who's smuggled into Syria to report on the conflict with an escort of rebel soldiers. After witnessing the unfolding massacre at the first aid clinic, Cole takes refuge in a local media house where he meets Hasan, an American-educated architect and Local Coordinator for the Free Syrian Army. Two years forward, home in the States, Cole suffers post traumatic flashbacks from his experience in the Syrian War while preparing for a conference and forum discussion on his notable policy book on the Arab-Israeli Conflict. At the conference, Cole is unexpectedly reunited with Hasan and Saira, now wed. Hasan joins the conference as a visiting Iranian Special Envoy with a mission to reinitiate business ties with the lifting of sanctions as part of the Iran Nuclear Deal. After a terrorist attack at the conference, Cole investigates the attack, starting with Hasan and his ties to Hezbollah. Cole seeks the answers to his questions about Saira, his former lover, and her involvement in the attack.
