Abbas Sepehri, an aspiring cabinet minister under the Shah, is mysteriously fired and plunges into a world of political intrigue. His public disgrace then launches him on a personal journey that takes him to America, where his crisis deepens. There he falls in love with the beautiful Ellen Hauser, wife of his longtime friend and employer, Lynn, director of a Middle East Center with close ties to the State Department. Next, his public lecture series is disrupted by dissident Iranian students, leading to further humiliation and exposure to a side of himself that he avoided facing in his own country.
