"Besieged by grief, British war photographer Joseph Nightingale travels to Cambodia, attempting to come to terms with a past that haunts him and a present that has grown unrecognizable. There, a surreal night and a brush with death lead him to Song, a young Cambodian woman grappling with the mounting psychological and physical scars left by a lifetime of poverty and violence. When Song mysteriously disappears, it's up to Joseph to piece together the clues, and he finds himself entangled in a web of transnational crime, arms dealing, sex trafficking, and corruption, where nothing and no one are what they seem. Together, Joseph and Song go to new lengths to protect and care for each other in a world where unimaginable atrocities are just a means to an end. As they navigate this brutal terrain and confront the consequences of their separate pasts, it is their unexplainable though undeniable bond that gets them through."-- Provided by publisher.
