The sad twelve-year-old boy, Zain, is compelled to fend for himself in the squalid and overcrowded slums of Beirut, with his family struggling with severe poverty, forever indebted to their brutal landlord. Unable to save his eleven-year-old sister, Sahar, from an awkward arrangement, Zain soon finds himself all alone in a city without a face, ending up in a small amusement park to make friends with another lost soul: Rahil, the Ethiopian cleaner, and mother of one. Still, there is no place for dreamers in this bleak and hostile world—and as the last straw is a terrifying discovery—Zain has a rabid desire for vengeance, and his blood-thirsty knife demands revenge. When love becomes hate, and life becomes an unendurable torment, who is to blame?
