Two men, their friendship forged during the American involvement in the Nicaraguan Civil War of the 1970's, struggle to come to terms with the aftermath of that war and their memory of a woman whose fate has haunted them for thirty years. The sudden and mysterious appearance of a painting leads them on an odyssey to uncover the truth of the woman's disappearance in the closing days of the war and their culpability in the tragedy. They are joined by a woman, a photojournalist whose history and motives are no less tangled. Their journey leads from a refugee camp in the Sudan to New Mexico and ultimately back to Central America where they are eventually forced to confront the consequences of the past.
