In the spring of 1992, Irena Zaric is a star on her high school basketball team, but while Irena shoots baskets with her friends, her beloved Sarajevo becomes a battleground. When the violence and terror of ethnic-cleansing against Muslims begin, Irena and her family, brutalized by Serb soldiers, flee for safety across the river that divides the city.
In a city starved for work, a former assistant principal offers Irena a vague job, "duties as assigned". She begins by sweeping floors, but soon, under the tutelage of a cast of rogues and heroes, she becomes a sniper - learning to bide her time, to never return to the same perch, to identify the mist around the target that marks a successful shot. Ultimately, Irena's new vocation will lead to complex and cataclysmic consequences for herself and those she loves.
