Jama is forced home to his native Somalia, the land of his nomadic ancestors.War is on the horizon and the fascist Italian forces who control parts of East Africa are preparing for battle.Yet Jama cannot rest until he discovers whether his father, who has been absent from his life since he was a baby, is alive somewhere.
