Sus padres le convencen de que les acompane a Karachi para ayudar a sus tias a un trasladarlas de piso. Una vez en Karachi, el padre no vuelve a casa tras salir a visitar un apartamento. Khalid va en su busca y se ve sorprendido por una manifestacion antiyanqui en plena calle y vuelve a casa de sus tias sin haber encontrado a su padre. Aquella misma noche, mientras juega a un videojuego inventado por su primo Tariq y que consiste en bombardear una ciudad imaginaria, unos agentes de la CIA enmascarados entran a la casa y se llevan a Khalid. De ahà en adelante todo son carceles, interrogatorios, maltratos, hasta que finalmente es liberado y devuelto a Inglaterra. / Khalid, a fifteen-year-old Muslim boy from Rochdale, is abducted from Pakistan while on holiday with his family.
