British Army Corporal Scott Lambert requests Leo's expertise in identifying human remains unearthed in Afghanistan, believed to be those of his brother Daniel, who went missing in action five years ago, suspected of being captured by the Taliban. Anxious Leo, Nikki and Jack head for the war-torn country in search of the truth about the soldier's mysterious disappearance. Staying in a compound by a small town with ex-military security officer Sean Nugent and his detail, the team discovers that there is far more at stake than simply identifying a soldier's remains. The crime scene is preventing the completion of a vital charity water sanitation plant project, spearheaded by inspirational Afghan charity worker Fawzia Joya. And although initially understanding of the team's mission, when ruthless Taliban attacks begin to threaten their investigation, she fears the construction delay will jeopardise the project's completion, putting thousands of Afghan lives at risk from contaminated water.
