Synopsis

It is 1978. The Shah of Iran is in trouble and Barney Rosen is back in Iran. Barney's performance during the Shah's 1970 celebration in Perse polis cost him his wife, his job and his self-respect. His new job brings him back to Iran as an art teacher at the International School of Tehran and face to face with a new love-Sarah Atkinson. Haunted by the ghost of his ex-wife and surrounded by examples of love-gone-bad in marriage, Barney must fight his fears and find a way to show Sarah that he loves her. As a reluctant courier for the American State Department in the Pre-Revolutionary Iran, Barney works undercover delivering messages from an American politician to an Iranian enemy. Barney begins to suspect that elements in his government may be trying to manipulate Iran's intricate alliances to influence the outcome of the American Presidential election. While on assignment in Isfahan, Barney realizes he too needs help from an enemy-himself. The maelstrom of December's Revolutionary March on Tehran's Shayad Monument gives Barney the opportunity to prove his love to Sarah.
