Beirut, 2006. While attempting a clandestine meeting with a new contact-code-name Nightingale-CIA operations officer Carrie Mathison barely escapes an ambush. Suspicious that security at the CIA's Beirut headquarters has been compromised, the highly skilled and emotionally volatile agent challenges the station chief in a heated confrontation that gets her booted back to Langley. Expert in recognizing and anticipating behavioral patterns - a skill enhanced by the bipolar disorder she keeps secret to protect her career - Carrie is increasingly certain that a terrorist plot has been set in motion. Desperate to return to Beirut she turns to her boss Saul Berenson, the mentor and confidant who recruited her at Princeton, but the Director of the Counter-Terrorism Center, David Estes, a skilled political animal driven by personal ambition, refuses their request. Frantic and running out of time, Carrie risks a shocking act of insubordination that helps her uncover secret evidence connecting Nightingale with Abu Nazir, the leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq. Determined to stop the terrorist mastermind, she embarks on an obsessive quest that will nearly destroy her.Filled with the taut suspense and ingenious plot twists that have made Homeland an addictive must-watch series, this riveting tale takes fans deeper into this complex world of counter terrorism and high stakes espionage and into the life and mind of one brilliant woman spy.
