Synopsis

How much is a human life worth?

It's December 2010 and Frank has just learned that Britain's National Health Service will no longer pay to keep his comatose mother on life support. He and his estranged sisters--Elizabeth and Dawn, living in the US like him, and Tess in the UK with their mom--open painful family scars as they wrestle with the moral issues of ending their mother's life or draining their bank accounts to temporarily extend it.

A world away, one of the most-deadly earthquakes on record hits Haiti, trapping Dawn's Haitian-born girlfriend in Port-au-Prince. Cut off from the outside, Angie must fight for her own survival as well as that of a group of newly orphaned children. She will find unknown inner strength and learn that it's impossible to put a price on a child's life.

Meanwhile, an Air Force lieutenant is making a very different calculation. From his base in Nevada, Jim operates a predator drone in Afghanistan. Each of his kills, he's told, will save the lives of multiple Americans his high-value targets would otherwise take out. One day, through his eye in the sky, he notices the daughter of a man he's been ordered to surveil, and he soon becomes obsessed with her. As his imagined relationship takes on a life of its own, a kill order comes in and he's forced to weigh the costs of following--or not following--orders.

As the stories intertwine and eventually come to a head, a series of unexpected miracles will remind them all of the true value of a human life.
