At a cafe table in Lahore, a Pakistani man begins the tale that has led to
his fateful meeting with an uneasy American stranger... Changez is living
an immigrant's dream of America. He thrives on the energy of New York, his
work at an elite firm, and his budding relationship. For a time, it seems
that nothing will stand in the way of his meteoric rise to success. But in
the wake of September 11, Changez finds his relationship crumbling and his
exalted status overturned. Allegiances are subsequently unearthed, proving
themselves more fundamental than money, power and maybe even love.
