The sweet sands of Dubai have long fallen from the soles of Salem’s shoes, but the grip of the Grin holds tight. Cursed by the naughty deeds of a Chinese monk and his apprentice the Monkey King, Salem lives unknowingly in a continuous state of uncertainty. Born a hermaphrodite and raised as a male, it was never an issue, but with the visit of his parents to the states, dark memories of the past resurface. Tussling over the love of a girl after an unusual encounter with a stranger, Salem begins to question his existence. A new job after graduate school, an unforgettable party that must be held, and a sister who plans on secretly staying in the states life has become a whirlwind of problems. Spinning into a state of turmoil Salem must choose to accept the life handed to him at birth or defy all that he has believed in order to enter a state of presence.
