You have two young sons and are married to Eduardo- the Spanish husband you met during your junior year abroad. One night, you leave to pick up dinner, and when you come back, he’s gone. The next morning, he shows up on the front page of the newspaper, having been arrested as the suspected leader of a terrorist cell. Your life will never be the same.
