At home he is a good son and big brother, but depending on what other postcode you find him in, Raza can easily transform into a hipster, a street-wise hustler, or a heady intellectual.
His ability to seamlessly glide through different worlds brings him to the attention of London’s Counter-Terrorism Special Unit (CTSU). When the police discover someone in his family is living in the UK illegally, the threat of deportation is enough to persuade him to become an informant.
As his CTSU handlers push him further and further into the fog of war, Raza begins to lose a sense of who he really is, and he realises he has entered a world from which there is no easy way of returning.
