Desperate to escape the chaos and violence as Gaddafi clings to power, Farid and his mother dash through the streets of Tripoli to the sea, hoping to secure safe passage to Sicily. But as they hunker down in the battered, overcrowded boat, the terrifying vastness of the sea - and journey - begins to dawn. Meanwhile, Vito wanders the Sicilian beaches, scanning the rocks for debris from boats lost at sea. Vito's parents left Libya when Gaddafi came to power, but his mother has never adjusted to life in Italy - or let go of her childhood love, an Arab boy whom she was forced to leave to a fate very different from her own.
