Set against the backdrop of the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, the narrative follows Homeira Qaderi, a prominent advocate for women's rights, as she faces imminent danger from the Taliban. After a failed escape attempt with her son, Siawash, she is aided by Sam Aronson, a foreign service officer who volunteers to help evacuate stranded individuals. Their perilous journey involves secretive maneuvers, communication through flashlight signals, and overcoming gunfire, culminating in a desperate bid for freedom as the airport gates prepare to close.
