The multigenerational tale of the Trà̂n family, set against the backdrop of the Việt Nam War.

Years later in Hà Nội, her young granddaughter, Hương, comes of age as her parents and uncles head off down the Hồ Chí Minh Trail to fight in a conflict that will tear not just her beloved country but her family apart.
