On one of his working trips to the port of Algiers, he has a chance meeting with Nabila (Sanaz Alexander), a beautiful Algerian woman who has become the property of a cruel and demanding leader of the Fundamentalist Islamic Salvation Front (FIS) through her parents' unpaid debts at their deaths. Mike gets to know Nabila through repeated visits to the vegetable stalls of the Algerian Kasbah. He is angered by her treatment and enchanted by her beauty, and quickly fashions a plan to smuggle Nabila onto his cargo ship and out of Algeria.

Family tension and a devastating event which changed the lives of the people of Italy forever weave throughout the love story of Mike and Nabila to render a desperate conclusion.
