Her parents and Nana are gone, and her brother, Saad, cant speakstruck silent by everything hes seen. Now, with her friend Shireen and Shireens charismatic brother, Ali, Yara must try to find a way to safety. With danger around every corner, Yara is pushed to her limits as she discovers how far shell go for her loved onesand for a chance for freedom.
