In the remote sands of the Moroccan
desert, a rifle shot rings out -
detonating a chain of events that will
link an American tourist couple's
frantic struggle to survive, two
Moroccan boys involved in an accidental
crime, a nanny illegally crossing into
Mexico with two American children and a
Japanese teen rebel whose father is
sought by the police in Tokyo. Separated
by clashing cultures and sprawling
distances, each of these four disparate
groups of people are nevertheless
hurtling towards a shared destiny of
isolation and grief. In the course of
just a few days, they will each face the
dizzying sensation of becoming
profoundly lost - lost in the desert,
lost to the world, lost to themselves -
as they are pushed to the farthest edges
of confusion and fear as well as to the
very depths of connection and love.
