Every night, Marc Laurent, an American taken hostage in Pakistan, is bound and blindfolded. And, every night, a woman he knows only as Josephine visits his cell. At first, her questions are mercenary: is there anyone back home who will pay the ransom? But, when Marc can offer no name, she asks him a question about his daughter that is even more terrifying than his captivity. And so, begins a strange yet increasingly comforting ritual, in which Josephine and Marc tell each other stories. As these stories build upon one another, a father and daughter start to find their way toward understanding each other again
