Seun Ajimobi is a twelve-year old boy lost in Libya. Thrown into a high-stakes situation, Seun must find a way out or risk never returning home or worse, losing his life. Told through the eyes of a boy abruptly cut off from the only life he has ever known, this agonizing tale of loss, isolation, family and friendship vividly captures the plight endured by those who leave home in the hope of finding greener pastures in a foreign land.
