During the Vietnam War, the CIA used Laos to launch secret operations, leading to mass bombings and destruction in the country. When the US abandoned Laos and the Royal Army it had backed -- including Thavi's father, a respected officer -- Thavi's life descended into turmoil. Since being reunited with his family in Brooklyn, he and his mother have had to face the meaning of betrayal -- between countries, between husband and wife, and between father and son -- as they struggle to survive in exile.
