The Civil War in Tajikistan (former republic of The Soviet Union), that shares its borders with Afghanistan produced many thousands of displaced, lost, kidnapped and killed children. The Aliev family and their twin sons; Rustam and Suhrob are one of many thousands of families to become victims of war. Twin brothers Rustam and Suhrob are seven years old when an explosion in their front yard devastates their parents. Suhrob is taken by a member of the Opposition forces allied with the Taliban and Iran, while Rustam is left with Government Forces allied with Russia. Many months later Suhrob is in a training camp with Opposition Forces in Southern Tajikistan headed by Mehrob and Rustam is adopted by an American family, Paul and Jennifer Higgins. Years later when Rustam becomes a soldier in the U.S military and Suhrob a member of the Taliban in Afghanistan, they are reunited only to face each other in war.
