Jeo is newly married and a dedicated medical student, while Mikal, in love with a woman he can't have, has adopted the life of a vagabond. Nonetheless, when Jeo decides to slip across the border into Afghanistan to help civilians caught in the post-9\/11 clash between American and Taliban forces, Mikal goes with him. But their good intentions cannot keep them out of harm's way.
