Dvě násilná a zdánlivě spolu nesouvisející úmrtí - profesora Šimona Guttmana, domnělého atentátníka na izraelského ministerskéhopředsedu, a archeologa Ahmeda Noura, domnělého kolaboranta s Izraelci - však zhatí jakékoli naděje na smírné řešení konfliktu.

Ta je však záhy vtažena do pátrání po příčínách obou úmrtí a zjistí - i za pomoci oblíbené počítačové on-line hry Second Life -, že mezi oběma zavražděnými, byť každý z nich patřil do opačného tábora, existovalo pevné osobní i profesní pouto, a že jejich smrti předcházelo objevení něčeho, co by mohlo mít pro urovnání nesmiřitelného sváru arabského a izraelského národa zásadní význam. Veřejné odhalení tohoto objevu nesmírné historické hodnoty však není v zájmu všech zúčastněných.
