An innocent caught up in a dangerous world, Dove tracks Koller across the Middle East, becoming entangled in the brutal world of international terrorism.
Both men are seeking answers.
But will they get them when they finally catch up with each other in a deadly spine-chilling shoot out?
Or will they both end up as 'Collateral Damage'?
