Cast out by their families, the young couple and their two small children leave behind a country ravaged by a never-ending war, seeking a better life in the United States. But their American dream soon turns into a nightmare and, desperate to save her daughter, Mariana must find the strength to make the most painful decision a mother could ever face, before it’s too late.</p>
