Plot summary
Tel Aviv in the late 1930s is a city under British Mandate rule, with Arab and Jewish residents living side by side. Thomas Wilkin, a deputy superintendent in the Palestinian police, and Shoshana Borochov, whose father helped found socialist Zionism, begin a relationship. Shoshana serves in Haganah, the Jewish defense force formed to protect settlers from Arab attacks, and the British have let it operate. A splinter group, Irgun, wants the British gone and a Jewish state on both banks of the Jordan. Superintendent Geoffrey Morton pursues Irgun member Avraham Stern and orders Wilkin to end the leniency toward Haganah, which divides Wilkin from Shoshana.
