The story begins in Nairobi, Kenya, where a young girl named Alia Mo’Allim plays with a hula hoop in her backyard. Colonel Katherine Powell of the British Army is alerted to the murder of an undercover British-Kenyan agent by the militant group Al-Shabaab. Taking charge from Northwood Headquarters, she leads a mission to capture three high-ranking Al-Shabaab leaders meeting at a safehouse in Nairobi.
A multinational team collaborates on the mission, connected through video and voice systems. Aerial surveillance is conducted by a USAF MQ-9 Reaper drone operated by Second Lieutenant Steve Watts from Creech Air Force Base in Nevada. On the ground, undercover Kenyan agents, including Jama Farah, use advanced micro-cameras to gather intelligence. Kenyan special forces are stationed nearby to execute the arrests. Facial recognition is handled at the Joint Intelligence Center Pacific in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The operation is overseen in the UK by a COBRA meeting, including Lieutenant General Frank Benson and government officials.
As the mission unfolds, Farah discovers the targets are preparing two suicide bombers for an imminent attack. Powell shifts the objective from capture to elimination, requesting a precision Hellfire missile strike. However, the legal complexity of the decision leads to a chain of approvals involving British ministers and the UK Foreign Secretary. The Foreign Secretary emphasizes minimizing collateral damage, adding tension to the mission.
