Through a series of familial betrayals, Mustafa Totah departs New Orleans and returns to Syria unaware that Alicia Ramsey is carrying his child. When the baby is born, Alicia names their son Ramadan and raises him with the help of her mother, Mama Joon. Years later, when Ramadan turns twelve, he sets off to find Mustafa--an adventure that takes him from New Orleans to Istanbul, and finally to Aleppo, Syria, where he hopes to unite with the father he has never known.
