Ben longs to be prime minister one day.
But with no political connections, he is about to crash out of a Masters degree with no future. So when by chance he becomes fast friends with a young Arab prince, and is offered a job in his government, he jumps at the chance to get on the political ladder.

Amal dreads the throne.
With Ben's help he wants to reform his country, steering it onto a path towards democracy. But with the king's health failing, revolutionaries in the streets, and terrorism threatening everyone, the country is about to tear itself apart.

The threat is closer than they realise.
Someone in the government is plotting. And in the heat of the desert, transitions of power are rarely bloodless.
