In the oppressive heat of a Moroccan summer, an already fractured family is forced to re-examine its loyalties.
Sisters Juliet and Portia haven't seen each other in years. When they're invited by their estranged mother, Miranda, to visit Fez, they're shocked on arrival to discover she has married Samir, a man half her age. What's more, he's already married to Zina.
Pressure builds in the simmering heat. While growing closer themselves, Juliet and Portia are dismayed that Miranda is only loyal to Samir, even while he employs children in sweatshops. Portia defies him daily to help the children, but when Zina plunges from a balcony, it's Portia who's blamed.
Juliet and Portia are forced to re-examine their loyalties.
