Amina Ahmed is desperate. The energy and passion that fills her young life is blinding her to the dangers of her present situation. Her beautiful, exotic city of Casablanca, Morocco, has now become a prison for her and her family. The Ahmed Theatre Troupe, founded by her father, and one in which she and her sister have grown up, is facing a new adversary who seeks to steal the spotlight...the very life... away from them by force. Beloved and celebrated for their honesty, the Ahmeds have never shrunk from speaking directly to the hearts of their audiences, igniting and awakening them...moving them into social and spiritual action. They are beloved by the people. Apparently, too beloved. Now matters are spiraling out of control, and Amina is determined to fix it somehow, no matter what the cost is to her own life.
Harrison Ford Zilch is a young American university graduate student who believes the truth will prevail, no matter how perilous the circumstances working to prevent it. Presently, his strongest desire is to write the perfect thesis about his subject, the vibrant artistic influence of the Ahmed Theatre Troupe. He has planned to travel to Morocco to seek out the Ahmeds, and by doing so, hope to experience first-hand their powerful and persuasive influence. Before he has left, he is delightfully surprised to discover one of the members of the Ahmed Theatre Troup has ventured to the USA, to New York City, to attend a conference. Harrison has lived his life convinced he can handle most anything that comes his way, until he meets Amina. He finds he is ill-prepared for the subsequent journey that awaits him after this encounter, bringing up within him some deeply buried issues of his own. And so two young dreamers become entangled in grave, seemingly hopelessly dire matters, outside of their control, while they also face their own private inner battles, yearnings and fears. Both are bent on bringing into the light what is right and just...no small task. Livelihoods and literally, lives are at stake.
