==Plot==
Khalid al Gatawi ([[Iliass Ojja]]) is about to become a [[suicide attack|suicide bomber]] in [[Paris]]. Even though he hesitates, his bomb is detonated from a distance by a [[mobile phone|cell phone]]. In the explosion a [[Netherlands|Dutch]] woman is killed and her [[Lebanon|Lebanese]] husband is seriously injured. Haron Nasrallah ([[Jacob Derwig]]), the son of the senior couple, is a police officer in [[Amsterdam]]. When the trail of the bombing leads back to the Netherlands, he decides to cooperate with the secret intelligence service.

Khalid and his two sisters Laila ([[Maryam Hassouni]]) and Alisha al Gatawi ([[Mimi Ferrer]]) wanted to avenge their father's death. Mokhtar ([[Sabri Saad El-Hamus]]) will arrange the suicide bombings for Laila and Alisha. Haron goes to Alisha's house and discovers she is pregnant. Laila catches him and forces him with a gun to bring her to Alisha. They find out Alisha tries to flee abroad with her boyfriend. Alisha and her boyfriend get killed by a bomb thrown in their car. When Haron is seen with Laila during their pursuit the police is going after the both of them.

The Dutch [[ambassador]] in [[Egypt]] helps Mokhtar by giving false papers to future suicide bombers. Laila finds a [[USB flash drive|memory stick]] with information about suicide bombers, but also information that the Dutch ambassador in Egypt was cooperating with Mokhtar. Mokhtar decides to kill the Dutch ambassador in Egypt. With the memory stick Laila and Haron try to make a deal for their freedom and future safety with the secret intelligence service.

Haron meets Mokhtar and, because he doesn't want to blow his cover, he joins Laila in a suicide bombing on [[Koninginnedag|Queen's Day]] in Amsterdam. Both Haron and Laila record a video testament. He negotiates with his colleagues how they will prevent the bombs from exploding. When his colleagues catch Haron he is handed over to the [[United States]] for suspected involvement in other terrorist attacks. When they catch Laila one agent leads her outside the Queen's Day crowd and let her bomb explode in a small alley.
