With the clock ticking before a scheduled US attack on Iranian nuclear sites, two estranged friends from Tehran, one Jewish and one Muslim, agree to a secret meeting in a monastery in an attempt to avoid war. With their friend, an American ambassador, pursuing his own agenda, this diplomatic nail-biter examines the ties that bind and break with the world’s fate hanging in the balance.
