Desperate to find his missing father, Arthur is drawn deeper into a turbulent conflict that threatens the lives of millions. Can he abandon a people who see him as their long-lost savior? Can he convince them he is nothing more than another lost soul in search of home? Or can he possibly become the hero they so desperately need?
