It's May 2014, and an Israeli invasion of Gaza looks ominously on the cards. On the streets of London, a Jewish critic of Israel is killed, the target of a militant Zionist organisation. But all is not as it seems. For there are broader forces at work.
Zach Peretz wants to find out who killed his brother Abe, but there's a problem. He's a cocaine addict. His addiction comes before everything, even his brother's death. By default, Zach teams up with Hepzibah, Abe's ex, on account of there being no one else to hook up with. It's a fractious partnership. They're both Jewish, but Zach's pro-Israel and she's pro-Palestinian. Meanwhile, Zach steals a phone to fund his habit; consequently, their investigation is about to take a new and dark turn.
