Convert Operations

Convert Operations begins with a US Army Special Forces, covert operation in the mountains between Afghanistan and Pakistan, to capture or kill Osama bin Laden following the horrific events of September 11th, 2001. The situation provides the setting for an unlikely bond between a CIA hired Afghani guide, Ahmad Khali and Corporal Bill Barton of Delta Team Copperhead. Their intense, but short weeks together, lead to open conversations on contrasting culture, society and religion. The similarities and differences of the Christian and Muslim faiths are inquisitively and respectfully exchanged until tragedy befalls both young men, drastically altering their paths in life, until they intersect once again in Ankara, Turkey during an assassination attempt on a high profile religious leader, when both men are forced to question their loyalties, their trust and their beliefs. Was Barton's sacrifice for Ahmad, Al Qaeda's newest recruit, enough to persuade him to abandon his mission and help foil the plot, or is Ahmad's new loyalty and religious zeal impenetrable?
