At age sixteen, Fahad hopes to spend the summer with is mother in London. His father, Rafik, has other plans: healuing his son to Abad, the family's rural estate in up-country Pakistan. Rafik wants to toughen up his sensitive boy, to teach him about power, duty, family - to make him a man. He enlists Ali, a local teenager, in this project, hoping Ali's presence will prove instructive. Instead, over the course of one hot, indolent season, attraction blooms between the two boys, and Fahad fins himself seduced by the wildness of the land and its inhabitants: th epople, who revere and revile his father in turn; cousin Mousey, who lives alone with a man he calls his manager; and most of all Ali, who threatens to unearth all that is hidden. Decades later, Fahad is living abroad when he receives a call from his mother summoning him back to Abad. His return will force him to face the past.
