Anwar El-Ibrahimi (Omar Metwally), an Egyptian-American, immigrated to the United States about twenty years ago. He built a happy life with beautiful American girl Isabella Fields (Reese Witherspoon), and they have one son. Isabella is also expecting their second child, who is gradually forming. One day, Anwar El-Ibrahimi returns from a business trip in South Africa and is taken away by mysterious men in black at Washington Airport. The CIA believes that Anwar, a chemical engineer, is a terrorist and wants to extract useful information from him. The unfortunate Anwar is "extradited" to Cairo, Egypt, where he is interrogated by local CIA agent Douglas Freeman (Jake Gyllenhaal) and a cunning local officer. On the other hand, pregnant Isabella firmly believes her husband is innocent and strives to locate him. Though she receives help from an old flame (Peter Sarsgaard), it ultimately proves insufficient against the strong arm of the state, rendering her helpless. Meanwhile, rookie agent Douglas Freeman, witnessing the inhumane interrogation of Anwar by his CIA colleagues, also faces a crisis of conscience. Is Anwar a terrorist? Will Isabella reunite with her husband? What role does new CIA recruit Douglas Freeman play in this shadow war? The answers to these questions will inevitably lead to a reevaluation of the "extradition" policy.
