Looking for a way out of London after a painful, unexpected breakup, Nadia leaps at the chance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn Iraq, Nadia quickly realizes she's in over her head. Her direct reports are hostile and unenthused about taking orders from an obvious UN novice, and the murmurs of deradicalization being inherently unethical and possibly illegal threaten to end Nadia's UN career before it even begins. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrustrated by her situation and the unrelenting heat, Nadia decides to visit the camp with her sullen team, composed of Goody Two-shoes Sherri who never passes up an opportunity to remind Nadia of her objections; and Pierre, a snippy Frenchman who has no qualms about perpetually scrolling through Grindr. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAt the camp, Nadia meets Sara, one of the younger refugees, whose accent immediately gives her away as a fellow East Londoner.
