Two women in their fifties. Everything sets them apart: their social standing, their life experiences, their backgrounds. Despite their differences, they will join forces for the same deeply personal and visceral goal: to gain custody of their grandson upon his return from a jihadist prison camp. Two women, one child. Three destinies inextricably linked.
