Lucia has been living in England since the 1990s Balkans War. This is the story of her journey home to Croatia, to introduce her English-speaking son to her elderly mother.

But Lucia cannot escape the traumatic remnants of the war, particularly when tragedy beckons as she discovers they are surrounded by minefields.
