The journey is fraught with danger not just to life, but to their relationship especially when Omed meets the attractive Kayla, a Syrian lady who is also on the refugee trail. What does she really want? Besides smugglers demanding extortionate amounts of money which the couple haven't got, they encounter betrayal, abandonment, abuse, drowning, racially inspired mobs, adultery, deception, and baby snatching.How can they possibly care for their baby daughter? Can they find a smuggler to take them over the Channel? Will their relationship survive?
