Freedom flows for Zahra, but suddenly it's ebbing.

Zahra Ghafoori, an Afghan widow with a troubled past, plans to leave Tehran with her fiancé, wealthy architect Karim Konari, and her son Ahmad. Having lived through the post-revolutionary challenges in 1979 Iran, Zahra is anxious to settle in America. The dramatic reappearance of her revolutionary cousin Firzun, whom she believed dead in a bomb blast, changes everything.

Firzun manipulates Zahra to flee with him to Australia. When they arrive, Firzun disappears along with Zahra's options. Before long, Zahra finds herself on the wrong side of the law.

Old and new loyalties are tested, which will either bring Zahra and Karim together or keep them apart ... pushing freedom and happiness further away from her grasp. The question is, will it all ebb away forever?
