April s usual babysitter is in the hospital, so she decides it s best to have her 3 year-old daughter close by, watching children s videos in the office, while she works. Except that April is a stripper at the Puma Club for Men. And tonight she has an unusual client, a foreigner both remote and too personal, and free with his money. Lots of it, all cash. His name is Bassam, and in a couple of days he s bound for Boston from where he ll set off to take his part in an atrocity against America.
