Cyrus Shams has always been lost. Hes grown up tangled in the mysteries of his past an uncle who rode through Iranian battlefields, a haunting work of art by an exiled painter, and his mother, whose plane was shot down over the Persian Gulf when he was just a baby. Now, newly sober and maybe in love, hes headed for an encounter that will transform everything he thought he knew. Can a final revelation change the truth of Cyrus's life?
