As bombs rain down and essential supplies dwindle, they make a desperate decision: to flee the city and seek refuge in Damascus. Their journey is fraught with danger, from hostile checkpoints to the ever-present threat of violence. But Amira is determined to protect her younger siblings and find a way to safety, even if it means risking everything.
