Nathan Serrano survived the jungles of Cuba, the brutality of war, and twelve years serving the Spanish Crown. But as the Spanish–American War draws to a close in 1898, he faces a choice that will cost him everything either way — leave the island with the retreating army, or go back for the family he left behind.

While Spanish soldiers celebrate their long-awaited departure, Nathan deserts and disappears into the wilderness. Hunted by Cuban insurgents, weakened by exhaustion, and haunted by the memories of war, he begins a desperate journey across a shattered island toward Havana — where his wife Vanessa and young daughter Samantha are waiting.

The war may be over for governments and generals.

For ordinary men caught between loyalty, identity, and survival, the long road home has only just begun.
