Die Führung der Konföderierten ist nervös: Mit einem so plötzlichen, vernichtenden Schlag des Unionsmilitärs hat niemand gerechnet. Können die Rebellen genügend Kräfte bündeln, um den Angriff abzuwehren? Bordingenieur Hobie macht einen verzweifelten Vorschlag: eine Verbrüderung mit den Peko! Die Union ist ein gemeinsamer Feind - und die Crew der Mary-Jane hat mit Sekoya eine Vermittlerin an Bord. Doch es gibt nur einen Weg, ein Bündnis mit den Peko zu schmieden - und der führt tief in feindliches Territorium...

Abdel Latif, an old man from the Aleppo region, dies peacefully in a hospital bed in Damascus. His final wish, conveyed to his youngest son, Bolbol, is to be buried in the family plot in their ancestral village of Anabiya. Though Abdel was hardly an ideal father, and though Bolbol is estranged from his siblings, this conscientious son persuades his older brother Hussein and his sister Fatima to accompany him and the body to Anabiya, which is - after all - only a two-hour drive from Damascus. There's only one problem: Their country is a war zone.

During the Civil War, two young soldiers on opposite sides find themselves drawn together.

When these two find themselves admiring more than each other's spirit and demeanor, when passions erupt between captor and captive, will this new romance survive the arduous trek to Purgatory Mountain?
