Jihan’s mother, Baha Al Omary, a strong-willed Syrian-American artist, began searching for him, launching the family into an international political maze. Kikhia’s body was found 19 years later in a freezer near Qaddafi’s palace. Through encounters with family, her father’s colleagues, and historical archives, Jihan’s search for truth evolves into a deeper curiosity, drawing her closer to both her father and her Libyan identity.
