Seventeen years after fleeing the revolutionary Ethiopia that claimed his father's life, Stepha Stephanos is a man still caught between two existences: the one he left behind, aged nineteen, and the new life he has forged in Washington D.C.

But when a white woman named Judith moves next door with her only daughter, Naomi, Sepha's life seems on the verge of change...
