In bustling Cairo, artist Charles Dana Gibson immerses himself in the vibrant sights and sounds, sketching the faces of local merchants and the rhythm of the Nile. But as political tensions rise, his drawings become a vital connection to the world he's come to cherish. When tragedy strikes, Gibson must choose between fleeing or risking everything to preserve the artistic haven he's built.
