兩架載運特種海豹部隊的黑鷹直昇機在2012年5月1號凌晨1點多之際，以低於雷達偵測的高度低空飛行，部隊成員運用繩索垂降至恐怖分子賓拉登藏身的別墅，但途中卻遭遇一架直升機機械故障而迫降於屋外，於是其他人以迅雷不及掩耳的速度進入潛進屋內，立即展開地毯式搜索。 當海豹部隊擊斃兩名賓拉登的信使之後，即在別墅三樓主臥室發現賓拉登，賓拉登睜大雙眼瞪著所有人並且頑抗的拒絕投降，在一番激烈的爭鬥之下，賓拉登最終遭海豹隊員精準的擊中左眼而斃命，整個過程大約40多分鐘。自911恐怖攻擊事件後，美國動員所有情報系統，傾力追緝十年的世紀頭號公敵賓拉登即被閃電擊斃而亡。

Sohail is an ambitious law undergraduate who signs up with MI5 and, eager to play a part in protecting British security, begins an investigation into a terrorist cell. His sister Nasima is a medical student in Leeds who becomes increasingly alienated and angered by Britain's foreign and domestic policy after witnessing at first hand the relentless targeting of her Muslim neighbours and peers. With action set in Pakistan, Eastern Europe, London and Leeds, both feature-length episodes detail a tragic sequence of events from two distinct perspectives. At the heart of this thought-provoking drama is a revealing examination of British Muslim life under current anti-terror legislation. Britz ultimately asks whether the laws we think are making us safer, are actually putting us in greater danger.
