In 1950, a Hungarian couple, Peter and Margit, are forced to flee from their oppressive Communist country for the USA
with their eldest daughter Maria. Unfortunately, they are forced to leave behind their infant daughter, Suzanne, who is
raised by a kind foster couple. Six years later, Peter and Margit arrange for the American Red Cross to bring Suzanne to
their new home in Los Angeles. There, the perplexed young girl is forced to accept her sudden change in home and
country, which leads to a troubled upbringing. At age 15, Suzanne, rebellious and unsure-of-herself, tries to come to
terms with her roots and decides to travel back to Budapest, Hungary to unravel her past and to find her true identity
