An Iranian widow leaves her child in a birdcage til Zal is released age 10 + moved to NY in care of a pr of child psych who becomes his 'father'. Skip to 31/12/99 with threat of calamity and Zal meets anorexic asiya and a bizarre coupling is created. Add in a strange magician & asiya prophesying a disaster the countdown to 9/11 becomes an imaginative piece of writing.
