The Thirst

At the country's main desalination facility, an Iranian chemist uncovers a water molecule never before detected. Unsure if the molecule is a byproduct of the desalination, or a microorganism left unfiltered during the process, he injects the tainted water into lab rats. A soldier, just back from deployment in Afghanistan, murders his young wife, and takes his own life. The investigation leans toward PTSD, but Agent Emily Watts is not convinced. In Jordan, a CIA operative is dead, and the daughter of the U.S. Ambassador is missing. During the rescue, the team uncovers a terror cell; a splinter of a once powerful ISIS group. Its leader, an American jihadist, was reportedly killed years earlier. A plan backfires and the team is left bloodied and battered; one member never to fight again. In the end they will find there is more than one ghost returning from the ashes.
