At a café table in Lahore, a bearded Pakistani man converses with an uneasy American stranger. As dusk deepens to night, he begins the tale that has brought them to this fateful encounter . . .
Changez is living an immigrant’s dream of America. At the top of his class at Princeton, he is snapped up by an elite valuation firm. He thrives on the energy of New York, and his budding romance with elegant, beautiful Erica promises entry into Manhattan society at the same exalted level once occupied by his own family back in Lahore. But in the wake of September 11, Changez finds his position in his adopted city suddenly overturned, and his relationship with Erica shifting. And Changez’s own identity is in seismic shift as well, unearthing allegiances more fundamental than money, power, and maybe even love.

在拉合尔的咖啡馆中，一位胡子拉碴的巴基斯坦男子正与心神不宁的陌生美国人交谈，黄昏转入深夜，他的故事渐渐透露出，两人的相遇或许并非偶然…
昌盖兹从巴基斯坦来到美国寻梦。在普林斯顿大学求学的他成绩优异，在班上名列榜首，毕业时被极富盛名的评估行恩德伍德·山姆森公司一眼相中。充满活力的纽约使他如鱼得水，与气质优雅、容貌出众的艾丽卡之间渐渐绽放的恋情更使他看到了踏入曼哈顿上流社会的希望，而这样的财富和地位正是他自己的家族当年在拉合尔曾经享有过的。孰料，随着911事件的爆发，昌盖兹发现他在纽约的地位急转直下，而他与艾丽卡的恋情也随着艾丽卡心中被唤醒的旧日伤痛而从指缝中流走。昌盖兹对自己身份的感知经受着巨大的震撼，对祖国的忠诚渐渐超越了金钱、权力，甚至爱情。
