Photography has long been used to capture events. His finest photograph was to cause them.

When Derek takes an intimate photograph of his first love, he sets a sequence of events in motion that threatens them both.

When he displays the photograph in public, she loses her freedom and he stands to lose the love of his life. Kidnapped by an extremist group, she faces a forced marriage and total denial of the lifestyle in which she thrives.

To rescue her and redeem himself, Derek has to form an alliance with an unlikely source – the handsome rival for her love.
