Synopsis

A young woman reluctantly leaves her career as a glamorous Los Angeles plastic surgeon to rescue her estranged mother who is trapped in an unheard of country called Orap. Each successive Taliban-like regime turns the year back to zero, as if to begin history again. Unaccustomed to such restrictions, she finds herself imprisoned and pregnant. To survive, she tells the story of her family to her unborn child. What did happen to the two beautiful and vulnerable refugee kids placed in the care of Uncle Mo, in his Malibu ocean house?
