Ferestadeh plot

A young Iranian arrives in New York. He is a quiet, serious and pious Muslim. His mission: find and kill an ex-SAVAK (Iranian Secret Service) officer. While tracking down the ex-SAVAK agent on the subway, he happens to meet him while helping him to escape from street robbers. The Quran, a Persian translation, falls from his pocket. The ex-cop picks up the book and sees the Persian script. They become friends. The believing young Muslim discovers that the ex-SAVAK man is actually a nice man, and not as bad as he was told. He has two children and they love their new 'uncle' from Iran. How the hell can he bring himself to kill this gorgeous guy?
