The Book of Zev is a satirical thriller that tells the story of two gentle souls who share the same psychic and get caught up in a global terrorist plot: Zev Bronfman, a strapping, angry 32-year-old refugee-from-religious-Jewish-life virgin/cabdriver; and Sarah Hirshbaum, a beautiful, redheaded, depressed, God-hating kosher chef/divorcee who seesaws between yoga and too much red wine. When the psychic inadvertently sends a tape recording of Zev’s latest reading to Sarah, a series of harrowing events forces the two of them to band together to stop a powerful terrorist with plans to destroy both the United Nations and Israel.
