In a journey like never before, Stacey joins Shireen, a 23 year-old Yazidi woman who was held as a sex slave for over two years by ISIS. Shireen managed to escape while enslaved in Mosul, but many Yazidi woman like her haven't, and remain in captivity. Shireen is going in search of justice - and she's taking Stacey with her. Shireen travels with Stacey back to Mosul, the self-declared capital of ISIS in Iraq, to revisit the places where she was held captive. In East Mosul, they find the house where Shireen was imprisoned and sexually abused by a leading ISIS executioner for months. But it's the Old City of Mosul, where Shireen finally managed to escape ISIS, that means the most to her. With a military escort, the pair travel into the heart of the Old City - where ISIS made their last stand in a devastating and brutal battle.
