Nazeem Hussain's date with the spy

It's 2011. Australia is in its tenth year of the War on Terror. Reports of hate crimes are on the rise. And 20-something Nazeem Hussain is a tax specialist. Before he was selling out shows and touring stand-up internationally, Nazeem Hussain wore a suit and clocked in at 9am for his day job. At evenings and weekends, he was also media spokesperson for the Islamic Council of Victoria. And one morning, he gets a phone call that sets him on a path worthy of a spy drama.
