Armed with a Winchester rifle, two Morrocan boys set out to look after their family's herd of goats. In the 
silent echoes of the desert, they decide to test the rifle… but the bullet goes farther than they thought it 
would. In an instant, the lives of four separate groups of strangers on three different continents collide. 
Caught up in the rising tide of an accident that escalates beyond anyone's control are a vacationing American 
couple, a rebellious deaf Japanese teenager and her father, and a Mexican nanny who, without permission, takes 
two American children across the border. None of these strangers will ever meet; in spite of the sudden, unlikely 
connection between them, they will all remain isolated due to their own inability to communicate meaningfully 
with anyone around them.

=================

In the remote sands of the Moroccan desert, a rifle shot rings out--detonating a chain of events that will link 
an American tourist couple's frantic struggle to survive, two Moroccan boys involved in an accidental crime, a 
nanny illegally crossing into Mexico with two American children and a Japanese teen rebel whose father is sought 
by the police in Tokyo. Separated by clashing cultures and sprawling distances, each of these four disparate groups 
of people are nevertheless hurtling towards a shared destiny of isolation and grief. In the course of just a few 
days, they will each face the dizzying sensation of becoming profoundly lost--lost in the desert, lost to the world, 
lost to themselves--as they are pushed to the farthest edges of confusion and fear as well as to the very depths of connection and love
