Der eigentliche Grund ihrer Reise in die marokkanische Stadt ist dem Entkommen ihren kontrollierenden Eltern und der Vermählung mit ihrem englischen Verlobten, Lord Hugo Cavendish-Smythe. Dieser hat bereits sein Herz an jemand anderen verloren. Doch Lucy will um ihre Unabhängigkeit kämpfen und ihre eigene Identität entwickeln.
