His hopes and dreams of escaping his mundane life, taking with him the French girl-next-door in whom he finds a proxy for the love of his deceased sister, are suddenly shattered when Walid is accused of murdering a Christian priest. The events unfold into a seemingly endless adventure of intellectual and life experiences, in an environment in which religions and nationalities coexist, social relations are intertwined, and the strange story of Father Dominique is revealed.
