In Kyrgyzstan, a former Soviet state in Central Asia, a development project goes wrong, leaving poor rural communities in a difficult situation. As one of the troubled communities struggles with the impact, help comes from an unexpected source, but has it only brought a different problem? The threads of many lives are thrown together, forming a story. It is a story of real people seeking a better way, a way of honour in the face of those who seem to have none. Amidst the soaring mountains and plunging rivers of the Tien Shan range in Kyrgyzstan, several small villages lie dry and desolate. Amidst the people of a close knit community, a man is isolated. Amidst the promise and purpose of an international development project, a myriad of motives and problems surge. From these threads, through the pressures of life, a tale is formed, a tale of fears and hopes, shame and honour. The end is not clear to anyone. Does the tale have an end at all?
