Hussam and Wassim are teenage boys living in Syria during America's
2003 invasion of Iraq. When a surprise discovery results in
tragedy, their lives, and those of their families, are shattered.
Wassim promises Hussam his protection, but ten years into the
future, he has failed to keep his promise. Wassim is on the
streets, seeking shelter from both the city and the civil war
storming his country. Meanwhile Hussam, now on the other side of
the world, remains haunted by his own ghosts, doing his utmost to
drown them out with every vice imaginable. Split between war-torn
Damascus and unforgiving Vancouver, The Foghorn Echoes is a tragic
love story about coping with shared traumatic experience and
devastating separation. As Hussam and Wassim come to terms with the
past, they begin to realise the secret that haunts them is not the
only secret that formed them.
