When he gets out of jail for the seventh time, Yaqub Shah aka Jack King–from Chicago–vows never to go back again. Fed up of running small-time scams for other people, he convinces his law-abiding guardian, Uncle Jalal, that he wants to sort out his life and return to Pakistan. What he really has in mind is a blockbuster heroin deal–sourcing product from the motherland, and supplying to the Midwest in America–which will let him retire as the ‘King of Chicago.’

Heading back to the place of a painful past–his dear mother long gone and an estranged father only interested in his business empire–Jack is determined to stay no longer than necessary. Pakistan, however, finds a way of getting under his skin–he falls in love with the beautiful Afroz, who reminds him of the futility of running away from home; he gets into a drunken scuffle with Mushtaq Gill, who happens to be the head of the National Intelligence Agency; and when things really start heating up, he must confront himself and the life he truly desires.

A thrilling caper, a hedonistic romp and a poignant homecoming story, The Shah of Chicago is a high-octane, swashbuckling adventure.
