Stuck in a backwater with no phone or money she is at the mercy of strangers. The family who take her in are poor and they are in danger of losing a daughter to be adopted by wealthy foreigners. Iris is drawn into their struggle. Along the way, she finds real friendship, learns what counts, and grows to love the country.
