In the wake of the 2005 London bombings, a former CIA operative embarks on a global investigation to uncover the origins of suicide terrorism. His journey takes him from the streets of Tehran to the war-torn landscapes of Lebanon, where he explores the ideological roots of martyrdom. Through interviews with families of suicide bombers and members of militant groups, the film examines how political and religious fervor can transform individuals into instruments of destruction, challenging the conventional understanding of these acts as mere desperation.
