"They say that the history of Vietnam can be found in a bowl of pho, and Old Man Hu'ng makes the best in all Hanoi.  Each morning he sets out from his shantytown home towards the sleeping city, to assemble his makeshift kitchen and start cooking.  One day a new customer takes her place in the line of regulars at his cart - a striking young Vietnamese-American woman named Maggie Ly.
Maggie was just a young girl when, with Saigon about to fall, she fled with her mother to relative safety in America,  leaving behind her dissident father to an uncertain fate.  Now in her thirties, she has returned to the country of her birth in the hope of discovering what became of him - and Hu'un may hold the key."
