Dr Alfred Jones, a scientist specialising in fishing, reluctantly agrees to take part in an apparently impossible project: bringing salmon fishing to the highlands of Yemen. Between political interests, a visionary sheikh and thousands of transplanted salmon, the initiative transforms his life and shakes up British politics.
