In a Sydney consumed by the fear of terrorism, the descent into hell of a fragile woman is narrated. The book offers an uncompromising radiography of a paranoid and cruel society, as well as an orchestrated media hysteria. Gina Davies, a stripper who calls herself 'La Poupée', works at the Chairman's Lounge. One night, she falls in love with Tariq, who disappears the next day, when five bombs are discovered and both become the main suspects.
