A Caribbean Island-a haven occupied and changed by a promising newcomer. Barcelona, Spain-a stopover that offers education and preparation toward a goal. United States-ultimate attainment and dream. From the oppression encountered in their native land, three women and two children flee to Spain in an effort to learn the language and pursue a life in the United States. Ana: mysteriously disappears during a visit to her boyfriend in Paris. Melina: meets a Spanish writer and makes a life for herself in Spain. Karina: meets an American who makes her entrance into the United States possible while forcing her to face the psychological attachment to her sister Daniela. The three venture into a foreign culture and language where each meet with unexpected events that separate them as well as open new avenues that bring them back together as they solve the puzzle of Ana's disappearance.
