Synopsis

When the planes hit the World Trade Center, Jamir “Jax” Haddad lost his entire family. Orphaned since 9/11, Jax grew up in a remote training facility hidden somewhere in rural Montana. Raised for 17 years to be an undercover agent for a dark arm of the US government — and longing to avenge the murder of his family — his time has finally come. Assigned to penetrate a feared terror cell, Jax settles into a close-knit Brooklyn community and starts his Senior year at Bayridge High. There, the "new kid" befriends classmate Tariq Mohammed, the younger brother of an abusive CIA target who is readying a brutal attack on New York City. But as Jax gets close to a vicious killer, he makes an unanticipated connection with Tariq. Together they focus on a common enemy who threatens the safety of the most vulnerable kids in the neighborhood. Torn between his duty and his humanity, Jax must navigate an unfamiliar battle field, littered with tragic stories of loss that remind him too much of his own heartache and which seem to motivate both the good and evil forces that permeate his world. And as Jax races to stop a shocking plot that will rock the country to its core, he comes face-to-face with a hatred that targets race and religion and which threatens to destroy his new family and friends. SLEEPER CELL is an inspiring and thrilling look at how one young man, focused on righting wrongs, fights evil in a post-9/11 America where terrorism and bigotry are inescapable realities and where the constant perils of every day life still lurk around every corner.
