An unnamed woman living in a nation where civil war has broken out is trying to make her way through a skirmish and find a safe haven. She stops in the nearest village and finds herself joined by a young girl also trying to find a place away from the fighting. The two encounter a messenger who is willing to serve as their guide; as the grimly determined woman and the resilient child follow the messenger though a blasted landscape, no one is sure if they'll find safety or just another battle at the end of the trail.
