After living in a Rohingya refugee camp in Bangladesh, four-year-old Shafi and his nine-year-old sister Somira embark on a perilous journey to Malaysia with a group of fellow Rohingya in the hope of reuniting with their scattered family. They spend seemingly endless days on an overcrowded smugglers’ boat until an incident at sea leaves them alone – and lost – in Thailand. But the kindness of the people they meet along the way, and their own indomitable spirit, reveal to them that they are never alone in the world, no matter how far from home.
