The paths of an Arab terrorist and an Israeli secret agent explosively converge as a planned bombing draws near.
God’s Slave retells the historical 1994 bombing of a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires with a fast pace and extreme action. Ahmed is a young Islamic doctor dedicated to enacting the eventual suicide bombing. He has been trained for the act since childhood and along the way has created a deeply loving life with a wife and child, who partially serve to disguise his terrorist connections. David is an Israeli special agent who is determined to stop the attack from occurring, with a similarly devoted relationship with his wife and daughter. As the planned bombing draws near, we follow both men as David begins to get to the bottom of Ahmed’s involvement.
