Customs and traditions, like ancient hatreds, have the power to wreck havoc on the lives of the people they touch. It is a lesson that Jordan Allen Wallace, a veteran and student at NYU discovers when he becomes involved in the war on terror in a most curious and unexpected way. With a physical appearance that is distinctly feminine, Jordan has little in the way of a social life. That quickly changes as a comedy of errors turns serious when his sister's boyfriend, an agent with the FBI seizes upon his unique qualities to help him solve a problem. While Jordan understands the need to cooperate with the FBI by informing on a professor at NYU, the role he is asked to play involves an Afghan custom of having adolescent males dress as females to entertain their master. In doing so Jordan finds he must come to terms with his own sexuality and gender. He also discovers that he has entered into a world of shadows and lies, a place where neither friend nor lover can be trusted.
