The setting is 1995, "somewhere in the Balkans." Over the course of 24 breathless hours Mambrú leads his team of humanitarians, including hard, bitten, wisecracking veteran B and new recruit Sophie as they deal with a most unexpected crisis, layers of bureaucratic red tape, and the reappearance of Mambrú's old flame. Through it all, the group handles the less-than-glamorous realities of life in a combat zone the only way they know how: with selfless bravery and a healthy dose of irreverent humor.
