The Taliban have withdrawn from Kabul's streets, but the long shadows of their regime remain. In his short life, 11-year-old Fawad has known more grief than most: his father and brother have been killed, his sister has been abducted, and Fawad and his mother, Mariya, must rely on the charity of parsimonious relatives to eke out a hand-to-mouth existence. Ever the optimist, Fawad hopes for a better life, and his dream is realized when Mariya finds a position as a housekeeper for a charismatic Western woman, Georgie, and her two foreign friends. The world of aid workers and journalists is a new one for Fawad, and living with the trio offers endless curiosities - including Georgie's destructive relationship with the powerful Afghan warlord Haji Khan, whose exploits are legendary.
