The Nasr family - Syrian mother, a Lebanese father, and three American children - all have lived a life of migration. Still, they've always had their ancestral home in Beirut - a constant touchstone - and the complicated, messy family love that binds them. They all have secrets, but in a city smoldering with the legacy of war, an ongoing flow of refugees, religious tension, and political protest, those secrets ignite, imperiling the fragile ties that hold this family together.
