In a middle of a war, a reporter (Dawn Petten) is photographed comforting a young boy whose parents have just been killed. The image becomes an iconic photograph representing the aftermath of war, and launches the journalist's career. A decade later, just released from a hostage situation, the now-famous war correspondent must face the aftermath of her recent trauma, which is compounded by a meddling sister (Astrid Varnes), a troubled teen living in her apartment (Marisa Smith), and a budding relationship with a man who appears on her fire escape (Aslam Husein).
