One morning, Dana — a drifting young Palestinian-American woman — wakes up unaware that the world has just shifted. Still tangled in the haze of the previous night, she is startled by a familiar yet haunting presence: her father, Saleh Said, a legendary Palestinian activist. He appears in the form of his younger self, a charismatic revolutionary from the 1960s. Whether he’s a ghost or a figment of her imagination remains unclear — but his urgency is real.As Dana stumbles through a tense Chicago afternoon, she begins to feel the weight of being visibly Arab in a city suddenly more alert to her presence. A keffiyeh draws stares. Her phone explodes with news of violence in Israel and impending retaliation against Palestinians. Panic sets in. Her father pushes her to speak — to reclaim her voice at the peace symposium she’s scheduled to attend that night.But Dana wants to disappear, to run from her inheritance, her fear, her father. He follows anyway. Through memories and unresolved grief, he reminds her of a deeper history — of exile, of erasure, and of resistance.
