Description: A Pulitzer Prize-nominated author is recruited to run for the mayoralty of New York. Coincidentally his wife who is half Arabic is mugged on the mean streets of the city and is so traumatized by the crime that she decides to return to her Islamic roots and don a 'Chador,' a head covering. The question becomes: can a man with an Islamic wife win the mayoralty of the city? When his main opponent is revealed to having been funded by a Saudi prince with terrorist ties, the race becomes more than a lark for the writer - and the stakes rise considerably higher.
