Based on a true story, American Marine Jason Johnson (Goselaar) is sent on assignment to the Emirate of Bahrain. While there, he meets and falls in love with a spirited, lovely young woman, Meriam (Nichols), without realizing she is really a member of the Bahraini Royal Family. Meriam, who does not wish to consent to an arranged marriage, knows her love affair with Jason is dangerous, as he is a Mormon Christian and she a Muslim. Her parents would never consent to their match, and so Meriam and Jason race against time to escape Bahrain and make it to the United States, where they can marry. If Meriam is sent back, however, her life may be in jeopardy. —Nichol

A modern fairy tale
I totally agree with the comments already posted. This story, a modern day fairy tale, made an excellent movie, with good lines, great cast, and all the better for being a true story. I too would like to be able to see it again, if I'd known it was going to be this good, I would have taped it. It's good to see that Love can still triumph overall, even in the modern world.
