Summer of 1991 in Zagreb. Ten-year-old Ana Jurić is a carefree tomboy who looks after her younger sister Rahela, runs the streets of Croatia's capital with her closest buddy Luka, and adores her father. However, sniper fire and air raid exercises take the place of football matches and classroom instruction as civil conflict erupts across Yugoslavia. Ana's last hope of life is a daring escape plan to America once tragedy strikes, leaving her alone in a world of guerrilla warfare and child soldiers.
After a decade, Ana is a New York college student. She has been keeping her history a secret from herself, her friends, and her lover in particular. She travels to Croatia by herself, haunted by the events that destroyed her family's life forever. There, she must find the location she once called home again and look for the spirits of the people she lost.
