1994 is a year when nothing goes right: Kurt Cobain dies, Sarajevo enters its third year under siege, the genocide begins in Rwanda and Grozny waits for the Russian attack. At the centre is an American family coming apart as fast as the world around it. Memories twenty-five years old drive Joseph Zimmer to leave home and live in a park in Washington, D.C. In London his daughter Nola tries to keep her head above water after escaping an attack on the Underground, while her brother Alan works his way through ever bloodier conflicts in Europe and Africa as a war photographer. Their mother, Kay, tries desperately to hold everyone together when no one is well.
