With his parents gone, Aleksandr finds not only a sense of family in the Soviet Army, but also love in 1983 when he falls for Tasneem, a local Afghan interpreter. But after a deathly betrayal, he stumbles into Closure Cafe, an eerie watering-hole for misfits from across the ages. The bullet wounds don't hurt, but the memories do, and unless he finds answers soon, he will stay trapped there for all eternity, much like his mysterious bartender, Izumi. Can he ever learn to trust again, or can a lost soul never move on from a broken heart?
