When a young Muslim doctor leaves war-torn Cyprus to study pediatric medicine in Chicago, she falls in love with a Jewish colleague. But before she can tell him the news of her pregnancy, they're attacked by masked gunmen who have stormed the restaurant in which they're having dinner. Knowing that honor killings are a real threat and terrified that her male relatives will discover her pregnancy, she leaves her wounded boyfriend and takes off for Wisconsin in search of safety. But in this vast and unknown country, she finds herself constantly looking over her shoulder—and when her uncle sends an assassin to find her, the possibility of survival becomes slimmer than ever.
