Walid Maarouf, a journalist who joined an extremist organization to write a report for a British magazine, was trapped with Al-Ashqar, the right-hand man of the leader of this organization, inside a building in Kobani.
Al-Ashqar tells Walid the story of his life, full of love, lust, pain... and murder.
From Morocco, Tunisia, Yemen, Libya, and Lebanon, the two heroes move through these countries that suffer from miserable social and familial conditions that push their residents to excess, immorality, and crime.
