Plot summary: Rahim is expelled from the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC). He steals a minibus, goes to Kordestan and is intercepted and forcibly detained by a branch of the Kurdish Democratic Party of Iran headed by Hessam Khan. The party is bringing arms and ammunition in from Iraq. The IRGC learns about this and sends someone with the assumed name Nasser to get more information. The Kurds identify Nasser and kill him. Hessam Khan is also killed by a villager. Rahim's real identity becomes known when he goes to Iraq to get ammunition. To prove his innocence he goes to IRGC headquarters and volunteers for a suicide mission. Clashes begin with the Kurdish Democrats and the IRGC forces win.—John Green
