When the young woman who was meant to look after her disappears, Joan finds herself stranded in a city transformed overnight by military rule. With tanks in the streets, phones cut off and uncertainty everywhere, her attempts to find out what has happened draw her into an increasingly dangerous world of surveillance, secrecy and political intrigue.
