a bunker held by the Taliban facing the last stronghold of the Northern Alliance

On September 11, 2001, William Tecumseh Lee, a CIA agent in the Special
Activities Division, after watching the tragic footage of the Twin Towers’

On approximately November 24, 2001, William Lee is tasked to interrogate
300 prisoners, including John Walker Lindh, captured by the Northern Alliance
under the leadership of General Dostum, one of
the most brutal and ruthless warlords who once had allied himself with the Russians.
After William Lee attempts to interrogate a scared and exhausted John Walker Lindh, a riot breaks out among the prisoners. During the ensuing melee, the prisoners break into an arms room, William Lee is
shot and killed, and John Walker Lindh is wounded and left for dead. John is later rescued by a comrade, and over the course of seven hellish days, 87 members of the original 300 prisoners are recaptured and those considered having intelligence information, including John Walker Lindh are turned over to the United States Army.

The US public and William’s father, Horatio Lee, blame John Walker Lindh
for the murder of William Lee.
As a spirit, William Lee soon discovers that he can only converse with John
Walker Lindh, he can visit as a lone wanderer all the places that John Walker
Lindh has traversed during his life, and he can silently visit his father when
his father is alone.
As William Lee explores his new existence, he seeks to complete the mission
he had in life, to find Osama bin Laden.
As events unfold, William Lee learns that his father is obsessed to uncover all the details that led to William Lee’s death, and to thereby ensure that John Walker Lindh receives the death penalty.

Will’s father, Horatio Lee is pitted against John Walker Lindh’s father,
Frank Lindh, who, although he recognizes, to the degree his fatherly loves
allows, that his son has made a mistake, he does not
believe his son should be punished any further.
Due to his quest, Horatio Lee, to William Lee’s distress, becomes so obsessed for revenge that he quickly descends into alcoholism and insanity. Desperate to help him, William Lee turns to the only living person he can communicate with, John Walker Lindh. William Lee asks John to help him communicate with his father. John resists, knowing what Horatio is bitterly ill-disposed towards him and his father Frank. Through ensuing court proceedings, setbacks and trials, William Lee, with John’s help, is able to arrest his father’s descent, John is granted a presidential pardon and both William and Horatio Lee achieve redemption through their association with the erstwhile “American Taliban” and terrorist John Walker Lindh.
