Based on a 1994 bombing in Buenos Aires, God's Slave follows Ahmed, trained since childhood as a terrorist, now assigned to execute a suicide bomb at a synagogue, and David, the Israeli special agent who will stop at nothing to prevent the attack. But neither man is defined solely by his extremist views. Ahmed, posing as a doctor, lives happily with his wife and young son; though David's marriage is on the rocks, he remains devoted to his wife and daughter. David zeroes in on Ahmed as a suspect, his investigation culminating in violent consequences.
