Under a totalitarian regime, life is cheap and people are shot for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Resistance is unthinkable while people scramble to survive, praying that things will change. Sameria and Jacob are children growing up in Daesh-controlled Iraq and are blessed with well educated and forward thinking parents. As their world implodes under Daesh, things begin happening behind closed doors. These children's minds are fertile grounds for new information, Sameria with her mathematics and science and Jacob with his computing and languages. It's not long before they realize they are exceptional and have moved beyond what their parents can teach them. Through clever hacking, they open up a world of knowledge, crack artificial intelligence, and build their first supercomputer. However, Daesh is the ever-present threat to their community's existence. Sameria and Jacob are now in direct confrontation, and there can be only one survivor. They can no longer wait for the outside world; change must start with them.
