1987, love in time of war. A bus driver George Lennox meets Carla, a Nicaraguan exile living a precarious, profoundly sad life in Glasgow. Her back is scarred, her boyfriend missing, her family dispersed; she's suicidal. George takes her to Nicaragua to find out what has happened to them and to help her face her past. Once home, Carla's nightmarish memories take over, and Carla and George are thrown into the thick of the US war against the Sandinistas. A mystery develops over where Carla's boyfriend is, and the key to his whereabouts may be Carla's friend Bradley, a bitter American aid worker. She finds her family, the Contras attack, and she and the Scot face their choices. 译文(2): 1987年，战争时期的爱情。公共汽车司机乔治 · 伦诺克斯遇到了卡拉，一个尼加拉瓜流亡者，在格拉斯哥过着不稳定的、极度悲伤的生活。她背上有疤，男朋友失踪，家人分散，她有自杀倾向。乔治带她去了尼加拉瓜了解他们的遭遇并帮助她面对过去。回到家后，卡拉噩梦般的记忆占据了她的全部身心，卡拉和乔治被卷入了美国对桑地诺主义者的战争。卡拉的男朋友在哪里成了一个谜，他下落的关键可能是卡拉的朋友布拉德利，一个痛苦的美国援助工作者。她找到了她的家人，反抗军的袭击，她和苏格兰人面临他们的选择。
