As the world counts down to Y2K, a young Peace Corps volunteer in Senegal crosses paths with a State Department operative whose motives are enigmatic from the moment they meet. What begins as a simple assignment spirals into a charged negotiation of ambition, desire and shifting allegiances.

Rajiv Joseph’s gripping two-hander blends spy-thriller tension with razor-sharp psychology, asking who gets to tell the truth – and who pays the price when the truth gets bent.
