Set in the 1980s, this gripping narrative follows Frances Shore, a British woman who relocates to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, with her husband, Andrew, for his engineering job. As Frances navigates the cultural and social complexities of her new environment, she becomes increasingly isolated and begins to suspect that something sinister is happening in her apartment building. Her curiosity leads her to uncover unsettling truths about the lives of those around her, revealing the stark contrasts between Western and Middle Eastern cultures and the oppressive nature of life in a society governed by strict religious laws.
