When guerrilla soldiers strike Santiago's village, they destroy everything in their path -- including his home and family.
Santiago and his four-year-old sister escape, running for their lives.
But the only way they can be truly safe is to leave Guatemala behind forever.
So Santiago and Angelina set sail in a sea kayak their Uncle Ramos built while dreaming of his own escape.
Sailing through narrow channels guarded by soldiers, shark-infested waters, and days of painful heat and raging storms, Santiago and Angelina face an almost impossible voyage hundreds of miles across the open ocean, heading for the hope of a new life in the United States.
