The heartwarming and stimulating tale of Adam and the unlikely team of friends drawn together to solve the mystery of his identity. Against a subtle background of middle eastern ethnic strife, inspector Qedemah Sadeq and doctor Sarah Berit and their families and associates are drawn into the arena of conflicting ideologies. Strong differences in national and ethnic origins, religion, age, and social status are overcome by friendship in the search for Adam's roots. An interfaith tour of Israel and the influence of Greek thought bring a deeper quest to the seekers, creating tension between faith and mathematics, religion and science, modernity and traditional values as Adam's friends find their beliefs and emotions stretched by Adam's journey. The search for truth about Adam becomes a challenge to his friends to take up the big questions of meaning, reality, and their own identity as human beings in the face of ethnic violence.
