Once, not long ago, a small Egyptian Police band arrived in Israel. They came to play at an initiation ceremony but, due to the bureaucracy, bad luck, or whatever reason, they were left stranded at the airport. They tried to manage on their own, only to find themselves in a desolate, almost forgotten, small Israeli town, somewhere in the heart of the dester. A lost band in a lost town. Not many people remember this. It wsn't that important.

Nazneen's life is turned upside down at the tender age of seventeen. Forced into an arranged marriage to an older man, she exchanges her Bangladeshi village home for a block of flats in London's East End. In this new world, pining for her home and her sister, she struggles to make sense of her existance - and to do her duty to her husband. A man of infiltrated ideas (and stomach), he sorely tests her compliance.
