Stories that circle the globe from South Africa to Iceland, Belgium and the Alps. Cape Town parents protect their boy; their domestic worker’s child faces the country’s injustice alone. In Reykjavik, a woman and the lover who left her eat mad honey and spend a night of fear with a violent Russian. Two lovers in New England fall prey to a cruel host, a mother takes in a homeless child at Park Station, and a closing cycle follows a young Namibian.
