Five medical students, united by a single dream, torn apart by jealousy, secrets, and a deadly revenge. Between Alexandria and Cairo, Zein finds himself torn between a first love that has become an open wound, a new love struggling to blossom in a heart burdened with guilt, and a group of friends whose outward appearance is one of laughter but whose inner conflicts are unspoken. When Zein's body collapses in the hospital, and he rises from his bed surrounded by Fairouz, Shahd, and Shadi, and with Nour's return from the past, it seems as though fate is granting him a second chance at life. But this time, Zein is no longer the kind, heartbroken student torn between conflicting hearts; he returns as an anatomy surgeon who knows how to dissect a person to their very core… and seal every door with quicklime. In a single apartment and a single barrel, jealousy transforms into conspiracy, and the conspiracy into a silent massacre, leaving only the "sole survivor" of the group… wearing the mask of innocence, burying beneath the sands of October enough to write a complete hell. Was Zein a victim of poisoned love… or a killer forged by love itself? "Love in the Time of Lime" is a novel about how the most violent part of us, when we love without limits, turns into an end that leaves nothing behind... but dust.
