Argentina, 1988. Human remains are found on a beach - a gruesome echo of when the tide brought home dozens of bodies thrown from planes during Argentina's Dirty War. Flights of death, their passengers known as the Disappeared. INTERNATIONAL TRIBUNE reporter Jonny Murphy is in Buenos Aires interviewing families of the missing, desperate to keep their memory alive, when the corpse turns up. His investigations with his companion, freelance photographer Paloma, have barely started when Argentina's simmering financial crisis explodes around them. As the fabric of society starts to disintegrate and Argentine cities burn around them, Jonny and Paloma are suddenly thrust centre stage, fighting to secure both their jobs and their livelihoods. But Jonny is also fighting something else, an echo from his own past that he'll never shake. As it catches up with him and Paloma, he must make choices that will endanger everything he knows . . .
