From the Ashes of Deir Yassin follows Walid, a bookish Palestinian youth who murders an innocent Israeli man to avenge his family's tragic, generations-old legacy. But when his dying grandmother confesses that their history is a complete fabrication-that they aren't historic victims, but Syrian migrants-Walid's righteous fury turns into crushing guilt.
Desperate to apologize to the young widow he spared, Walid flees across the globe to Australia as an international student. But redemption comes at a lethal price. To finance his escape, he is forced to act as a sleeper agent for a ruthless terror cell. Meanwhile, a vengeful Israeli black-ops squad has picked up his trail and will cross any border to hunt him down. Caught in a deadly global crossfire, Walid must outwit his handlers and survive the assassins on his tail long enough to look his victim's wife in the eyes and tell her the truth.
