When a Syrian doctor and her daughter are forced to flee Aleppo, a single desperate decision sets off a chain of events that crosses borders and draws five strangers into the heart of the same storm. A smuggler trying to save his son. A soldier grappling with his conscience. A poet searching for a home. A Greek Coast Guard captain torn between duty and compassion. Their paths cross one night on the Mediterranean—a place where survival is uncertain and humanity reveals itself in its rawest form.
