As the unlikely band traverse the old world, a train trip becomes a treacherous journey into Europe's and Johnny's darkest past - a journey that shatters Chloe's future plans and puts in jeopardy everything she thought she wanted. From Treblinka to Trieste, from Karnikava to Krakow, from Vilnius to Venice, the lovers and friends fight and love and break each other's hearts.

As they travel the marshes and mountains of the European continent, Chloe and her friends discover only one thing that's certain: whether or not they reach Barcelona, their lives will never be the same"-- Provided by publisher.
