A mother's love for her children leads to a son's revenge for her death in this dramatic thriller that begins during the Greek civil war.

Nick is a writer in New York when he gets posted to a bureau in Greece. He has waited 30 years for this. He wants to know why his mother was killed in the civil war years earlier. In a parallel plot line we see Nick as a young boy and his family as they struggle to survive in the occupied Greek hillside. The plot lines converge as Nick's investigations bring him closer to the answers.—Robert B. Young <[email protected]>
