Two backpacking curmudgeons, a crotchety Brit and an ancient American, attempt to smuggle priceless world heritage antiquities to safety and save their own skins from ISIS. They outwit themselves at every turn, saved by a Yazidi Joan of Arc in a black comedy and satire on religion and nationalism that puts the fun back in fundamentalism.

The ISIS Affair was inspired by the most widely read article in the history of the Atlantic Monthly in March 2015, “What ISIS Really Wants”, by Graeme Wood. Thanks for the inspiration, Graeme.
