A man in prison. A girl in a hurry. Together they will change the world.

Like all great things, it started small - with a cup of Turkish coffee brought by the girl to the man in his cell. smet is a prisoner of conscience, proxy director of subversive films calling to account the ruthless dictatorship of his Central Asian republic. He has one last, hugely controversial work in him but he is in solitary confinement, guarded day and night. He strikes a deal with the prison governor: to write the governor's annual report in exchange for a cup of coffee brought to his cell every Monday. The coffee delivery girl Saljan agrees to run the risk of smuggling out the script.

smet's film is hailed as a masterpiece. It topples corrupt regimes and changes the way the world thinks, ushering in a new age of inter-faith tolerance. But at the heart of the triumph lies a mystery with earth-shattering implications. Solving its extraordinary secret becomes the final challenge of smet's life.
