In the northern hills of Pakistan, by the border with Afghanistan, a drug deal goes horribly wrong. Trey's friend has been captured. His girlfriend, Michelle, succumbs to her heroin addiction. And the only person who Trey can speak to is the Pashtun holding him captive.

Selected from the collection How It Ended.
