A CINEMATIC DEBUT OF A PROMISING YOUNG NOVELIST FROM LEBANON--A FAUX-THRILLER ABOUT A RECLUSIVE BOTANIST WHO WITNESSES A POLITICAL MURDER AND IS DRAWN INTO A PERSONAL INVESTIGATION--A captivating thriller that reveals a family’s intergenerational secrets, a nation’s deepest fears, and an underground world of politics, religion, and society. Beirut at dawn. A bus leaves the Charles Helou station en route to Damascus. Seven passengers are on board, one of whom is a prominent Lebanese politician. Before crossing the border, the bus is accosted and derailed. All seven passengers are gunned down. A botanist studying a rare occurrence of acacias nearby witnesses the horror. While the nation around him plunges into conspiracy theories and chaos, the botanist realizes he holds the only clue to the mystery: his injured Acacia. This sends him on a quest for answers, through a minefield of national fears and family secrets, deep into a private underworld.

Autorenporträt
Inspired by the absurdity of beautiful things, Meedo Taha wears more hats than a hat stand: filmmaker, architect, father and occasional shade tree philosopher. He lives with his wife and son in Los Angeles via Beirut and Tokyo. Rather than wage war, his personas have joined forces to craft A Road to Damascus, his first actual novel. He has just finished a project produced by James Franco and is currently working on the movie adaptation of his first novel A Road to Damascus with Daniel Pyne, who wrote The Manchurian Candidate.
