Benghazi is an odyssey into the mental universe of Mariam Khaldoon, a Libyan teenager confronted with a life-changing emotional crisis. The story is centered around the power exerted over Mariam by two powerful men: her father, and the Fascist Italian leader Benito Mussolini. Between the omnipotent family patriarch who makes an unjust decision that throws her existence into turmoil, and the heartless Italian tyrant ruling over Libya with an iron fist, the highly gifted and insightful adolescent must forge a path for herself and find a way to overcome the trauma inflicted upon her by a harsh social milieu and an aloof father.
