Who knew that in the battle against oppression a woman's greatest weapon would be a cricket ball? A determined young woman's plan to escape from Taliban-ruled Afghanistan depends on the outcome of an unusual cricket match. Rukhsana, a spirited young journalist in Kabul, is summoned to the infamous Ministry for the Propagation of Virtue and Prevention of Vice. A cricket tournament is announced, with the winning team to represent Afghanistan internationally. The idea is ludicrous and no-one in Afghanistan even knows how to play cricket, except Rukhsana. The tournament offers a means of escape for her brother and young cousins.
