Kamran is a 12 year old boy who is consumed by the responsibility of keeping the story of his heritage alive for future generations. His travels from the U.S. take him to England and Iran as he pursues the life story of his ancestor, the 11th Century Mathematician, Astronomer, poet of Persia, Omar Khayyam. The film takes us from the modern day to the epic past where the relationship between Omar Khayyam, Hassan Sabbah (the original creator of the sect of Assassins) and their mutual love for a beautiful woman separate them from their eternal bond of friendship.
