Ce long métrage documentaire raconte l’histoire d’Amina Arraf, jolie révolutionnaire Américano-Syrienne qui entame une relation érotique en ligne avec Sandra Bagaria, jeune professionnelle montréalaise, avant d'initier un blogue au nom provocateur de Gay Girl in Damascus (Une fille gaie à Damas). Alors que la révolution syrienne se met en place, le succès du blogue est fulgurant. Mais c'est le kidnapping d'Amina qui déclenche une mobilisation internationale pour la faire libérer. S’en suit un dérapage médiatique et sociologique sans précédent, tel un polar impliquant les services secrets et les grands médias du monde.
