On a quiet autumn evening in September 1905, a girl is born in the ancient city of Smyrna, who will receive the name Scheherazade. The contractions of the woman in labor were so strong and painful that even opium did not alleviate her suffering.
On the same day, a ship anchors in the local harbor, on board of which an Indian spy arrives with a secret mission for the British Empire. Avinash Pillai sees golden spiers and minarets, smells the scent of figs and plane trees, hears the cries of street hawkers offering their goods. Seventeen years later, he will leave the city in flames, inhaling the heavy smell of kerosene and burning. And between these Septembers, there will be many events related to the intertwining destinies of the Arab, Greek, Turkish and Armenian families. Birth and death, love and loss - all this awaits the heroes when their peaceful small homeland is destroyed due to the collapse of the Ottoman Empire.
