For hundreds of years, Rahim Molla's ancestors had lived peacefully with their Buddhist neighbors in the village of Ong Saik, Myanmar. The changes brought to the world after the events of 9/11 eventually impacted this small Rohingya village as well. Much like the plight of Jews in Nazi Germany during the 1930s, the Rohingya of Myanmar found themselves in a similar situation as time evolved. Under these circumstances, the Molla family became victims of genocide. By chance, the main characters of the story, Suu and Rafique, get separated from each other. In the novel, Suu emerges as a savior for the Rohingya. But the question remains: what lies ahead for the fate of the Rohingya at the end of the day? What will happen to Suu and Rafique?
