An ex-secret service agent turned fixer, Momi (45) brokers property deals between the Arab residents of East-Jerusalem and the powerful Jewish groups doing whatever they can to increase the Jewish presence in the area. Brooding and well-connected, he slips between communities with ease. But the deadly consequences of his double-dealing are taking their toll, and when a complex scam puts a young Palestinian family at risk, he must question his morals and his motivation. At the center of Momi’s world is Maya, his 18-year-old, autistic daughter. A single parent, Momi is determined to give Maya the kind of security that is rare on the East Side. At home, Momi is tender and protective, and his tentative affair with Maya’s therapist holds the possibility of a real family future. But can he keep his dealings in the shadowy, amoral underworld and his home life from colliding? With one last job, involving a deal with the Greek Orthodox Church, offering a pay-out big enough to secure his family’s future and get him out of the game for good, the stakes have never been higher for Momi. As power and politics clash, loyalties — and lives — are at risk.
