So When She Is Offered Work Translating For Spanish Families Looking To Adopt Orphans From The Provincial Town Of Rogozhin, She Quickly Agrees. Besides The Much-needed Money It Brings, The Job Is A Great Opportunity For Nina To Use Her Education To Help People In Hardship. But Soon She Finds That Nothing Is As It Seems. By The Time Nina Realizes That All Too Often The Business Of International Adoption Is Not A Humanitarian Enterprise, She's In Too Deep. Will She Be Able To Navigate A World Of Exploitation And Political Corruption In Order To Help The Children?
