Late one spring night, as Driss Guerraoui is walking across a darkened intersection in California, he¿s killed by a speeding car. The repercussions of his death bring together a diverse cast of characters: Guerraoui¿s daughter Nora, a jazz composer who returns to the small town in the Mojave she thought she¿d left for good; his widow, Maryam, who still pines after her life in the old country; Efraín, an undocumented witness whose fear of deportation prevents him from coming forward; Jeremy, an old friend of Nora¿s and an Iraqi War veteran; Coleman, a detective who is slowly discovering her son¿s secrets; Anderson, a neighbor trying to reconnect with his family; and the murdered man himself.

As the characters¿deeply divided by race, religion, and class¿tell their stories, connections among them emerge, even as Driss¿s family confronts its secrets, a town faces its hypocrisies, and love¿messy and unpredictable¿is born.
