The story

Kathryn Bolkovac is a police officer from Lincoln, Nebraska, who accepts an offer to work with the UNPOL in post-war Bosnia and Herzegovina for a private contractor called Democra Security (a thinly veiled allusion to DynCorp International). After successfully advocating for a Muslim woman who experienced domestic abuse, Kathryn is appointed head of the department of gender affairs. Raya, a young Ukrainian woman, and her friend Luba are sold to a Bosnian sex-trafficking ring by a relative.
