A Story of Love, Loss, and the Struggle for Redemption

As war consumes Syria, Shamil, a doctor living in London, must return to his homeland to ensure his family's safety. Estranged from his wife Laila and son Zain, he finds himself navigating both a fractured family and a country in turmoil. With every step, Shamil is forced to confront his own guilt, the ghosts of his past, and the painful reality of a homeland he barely recognizes.
