Zari Alavi doesn't remember her turbulent childhood in post-revolutionary Iran or the father that she and her mother left there so many years ago. Suddenly, thirty years later, she finds herself on a plane to Teheran to cover the 2009 presidential elections for the Florida Sun-Sentinel. Within a week of landing, she'll find herself married to a stranger, hunted by the government, and making a daring escape attempt through impossible terrain. Will forces from her past save her or lead to her ultimate destruction?
