Boris Androvski has had enough of life as a Trappist monk, so he leaves the monastery for the deserts of North Africa, in hope of a new beginning. There, he meets similarly disillusioned Domini Enfilden, whose long-ailing father has just died. The two strike up a whirlwind romance in the desert, though Domini knows nothing of Boris's past. When a squadron from the French Foreign Legion crosses their path, his secret may not be safe for long.

Boris Androvski ma juz dosyc zycia jako mnich benedyktynski, wiec opuszcza klasztor i wyrusza do Afryki Pólnocnej, w nadziei na nowy poczatek. Tam spotyka podobnie rozczarowana szara codziennoscia Domini Enfilden, której niedawno zmarl ojciec. Oboje wpadaja w wir milosci, choc Domini nic nie wie o przeszlosci Borisa. Kiedy Legia Cudzoziemska przecina im droge, sekret Borisa zostaje zagrozony.
