The
thrilling
adventure
of
four
people
who
survive
an
airplane
crash
in
the
desolate
reaches
of
western
China.Three
of
the
survivors
(a
German
couple
and
a
Mongolian
Uighur
student)
have
been
expelled
from
China
because
of
anti-government
activities.
The
fourth
(an
American
forced
to
leave
his
NGO
work
in
Russia
when
that
country
invaded
Ukraine)
was
on
the
doomed
flight
by
happenstance.
With
no
recourse
to
await
'rescue'
by
Chinese
authorities,
they
head
west
for
2,300
miles
in
hopes
of
reaching
the
safety
of
Kazakhstan.Amid
the
backdrop
of
international
tensions,
they
are
pursed
by
a
Chinese
Ministry
of
State
Security
director
and
his
obstreperous
commanding
general,
who
declare
them
fugitives.
The
four
travel
the
incredibly
hazardous
route
of
the
ancient
Silk
Road
as
international
tensions
build
between
the
US
and
China
over
China's
stance
on
Taiwan
and
their
internal
handling
of
their
indigenous
Uighur
population.The
four
survivors
lay
clever
false
trails
by
hitchhiking,
boarding
trains,
and
riding
rickety
busses.
They
often
must
rely
on
the
kindness
of
common
folks
who
offer
them
a
helping
hand
as
they
wend
their
way
to
the
safety
of
Kazakhstan
where
they
are
finally
faced
with
the
daunting
task
of
sneaking
unnoticed
across
an
international border.
