 Harrison Lloyd is a Pulitzer-winning photojournalist. His wife and family are making it hard for him to keep his mind on his work when he s in a war zone, and he wants to change jobs to something less stressful. But he s got one last assignment, in war-torn Yugoslavia, in 1991, at the height of the fighting. Word comes back that he apparently died in a building collapse, but his wife Sarah (also a journalist for Newsweek) refuses to believe that he s dead and goes looking for him. She s helped immensely by the photo-journalists Eric Kyle and Marc Stevenson that she runs into over there; together, they re determined to make it through the chaotic landscape to Vukovar, which is not only the nexus of the war but where she believes Harrison is located. Meanwhile, Harrison s son Cesar is looking after his father s prized greenhouse, keeping hope, and flowers, alive.
