In the remote Nuba Mountains of Sudan, decades of war have uprooted the lives of millions, and vestiges of conflict riddle the landscapes of daily life. Yet as a new war reverberates outward from the nation's capital, this quiet region that was once a target area is now becoming a safe haven. In this modern day exodus story, an elderly man living in Khartoum (Musa) enlists the help of a young college student (Emmanuel) to heroically facilitate the evacuation and resettlement of thousands of Sudanese back to the relative safety of their homeland. Meanwhile as Emmanuel grapples with his trauma and new identity as a refugee, nearby communities provide refuge as they learn to heal together.
