Charlie, a young English actress with radical sympathies, is recruited by Israeli intelligence to infiltrate a Palestinian militant network. Her handlers construct a false identity and train her to perform a relationship with a man she has never met.
As Charlie enters the role, the boundary between acting, conviction and manipulation begins to dissolve. The operation depends on exploiting her political sympathies and emotional needs, placing her between two organisations that both demand complete belief.
