No man has been able to achieve this, but he must, to save what matters most, his true love Amina from the supernatural Djinn.

Over glasses of Hungarian Tokay, the vicar, Dean Spanley, tells a story of friendship, freedom, and reincarnation. In what earthly way could this tale connect father and son?
