Hussam and Wassim are teenaged boys living in Syria during
America's invasion of Iraq in the early 2000s. 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 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.
