In 1978, Chum fled Cambodia and narrowly escaped the murderous Khmer Rouge regime. Thirty years later, he returns in search of his wayward daughter, Neary.

From playwright Lauren Yee (King of the Yees, The Great Leap) comes a story filled with horror, humor, pathos and songs by the best unknown rock band in Cambodia!
