Overview

"Poison Heartbeats is a love story, a war-torn romance, written like a thriller. It follows the paths of two twins born in Nuristan, Afghanistan, during the Russian occupation. One becomes a holy warrior of the terrorist organization, ISIL (synonymous with ISIS, but claiming a larger territory in the middle east). The other twin becomes a not-so-all-American girl who falls in love with the director of homeland security's ""Poison Well"" unit.
