In an unnamed town in what could be the American Southwest or Latin America, seven young adults stand out from the vanilla residents. Each has a secret, but each also has knowledge about someone else's. This work of magical realism provides a thoughtful examination of gender, guilt, fear, and forgiveness, weaving together cultural traditions from Pakistan, Latin America, and the U.S. in unexpected ways.
