Shoot To Kill

When an innocent Muslim is killed by the London Police force in the wake of 7/7, Tariq Ali (Shah), a successful Muslim police officer, is asked to head up the internal investigation to hunt-down suspected suicide-bombers. The investigation is clouded by allegations of racism and religious profiling in the Police force, as well as the ongoing threat of terrorism in the capital.

At the same time, Lahore-born Tariq - a British citizen married to an English woman with two children – has his loyalties questioned by colleagues in the force, despite his long service to Scotland Yard, as well as fellow Muslims, finding his inquiry hampered from all sides. Things become difficult for Tariq enforcing him to display courage as he becomes torn between his family and professional duties. Instantaneous decisions have to be made, bringing into question his priorities as both a senior police officer and a Muslim. Tariq soon realises that sometimes the right decision is the hardest one to make.
