In the heat of an Israeli summer, amid fresh attempts to restart peace talks with the Palestinians, Udi struggles to fill a UK immigration form. At twenty-six, Udi is a veteran of the Israel Defense Forces and has killed five men. He wants a new life, in a new country, and dreams of moving to London.

But as the war with Hamas breaks out, Daniel cannot know that the star-crossed love of a Jewish girl and an Arab man in Jerusalem ten years earlier will soon complicate all that he thinks has become clear…
