Synopsis

With a successful career and wedding bells in his future, Dino “The Italian” Fabrizzi has the perfect life. Unfortunately, it’s all built on a lie. His real name is Mourad Ben Saoud. Neither his boss nor his girlfriend—and even less so his parents—are aware of his false identity. In 10 days Ramadan will begin, and Mourad has promised his sick father that he will observe the religious rite for him. Now, Dino is going to have to think fast if he wants to keep his complicated double life from crashing down around him.
