Eliamma is a teenaged Syrian refugee on the run in Vienna. She's being hunted and she's alone. When an accidental encounter brings her under the protection of American art forger Rob Kingston, the consequences are unexpected and devastating. The time is now, as waves of men, women and children sweep across Europe, desperate to escape the chaos and horrors of a war-scoured Middle East. It's an upheaval unprecedented since the end of World War Two. Among Austrians and their European neighbors, compassion is fighting a losing battle with fear. Into this cauldron plunges Eliamma, a Damascene Christian hoping to find sanctuary in Sweden. She and Kingston clash the moment they set eyes on each other, and together they spin a relationship based on half-truths, lies and cover-ups. Almost too late, they discover they're also each other's savior.
