Dance of the Baccha — Nancy Cole

Jordan is anything but a typical NYU student. His physical appearance cause people to mistake him as a female, setting him apart from his fellow students. With the exception of his sister Emma, he has little in the way of a social life. That changes when Emma's boyfriend Conner, an FBI agent, imposes upon her by bringing along a buddy for an afternoon at Emma's watching football. Recalling a prank she and Jordan had once played on a friend, Emma decides to extract a bit of revenge by talking Jordan into helping her "even up" the sides. What starts as a stunt turns serious when Conner seizes upon Jordan's unique qualities to help him solve a problem that has the Bureau stymied. While Jordan understands the need to cooperate by informing on an Afghani professor, the role he is required to play presents him with problems that are, to say the least, unusual. In doing so, Jordan discovers that he has entered into a world of shadows and lies, a place where neither friend nor lover can be trusted.
