“To begin a new life and to protect her former identity, an ex-spy must undertake a perilous journey into a land beset with civil war and unearthly disaster”

her side has lost the war, she returns to her homeland (which is now occupied by the enemy) to try and 'come in from the cold' - the job is a fetch quest that will put her in a position of strength if successful. It involves going to a an area of the country where the war has restarted which means trying to not killed by either side. I have the outline and several drafts of the script done, but loglining it has been a bit of a challenge :)

What's the inciting incident? That is, what compels her to give up spying, start a new life?
