In a world of academia where religion, philosophy, and politics are often debated by intellectuals, our protagonists meet.   Mira, a spirited Palestinian-American , and Mo, an Israeli PHD student , are introduced at the bohemian wedding of a mutual colleague as being "from the same place."   Lust at first sight charges the two past the false pretenses of a shared religion into an impassioned argument about the validity of traditionalist ideologies in science.   When wine and loneliness lead Mira and Mo into a dance of silence, the music fades and their journey begins. Our heroes venture into the setting night through laughter and drunken haze, they find a sweet joy in each other's arms until the truth is revealed. Their identities, their religion and the history of their blood stained land inspires a fight so violently charged with passion, they are changed forever.

Why is it so easy to fall for someone so hard to love?
