Hiss-s-s-s!

Omar wants a snake more than anything, but his mom is unenthusiastic to say

the least. However, the family manages to strike a compromise: Omar can get a

corn snake; but the pet, which he names Arrow, must stay inside Omar's room,

where his mom will not have to set eyes on it. When Arrow escapes, the

incident becomes a catalyst for Omar to gain a new understanding of his mother

and his childhood in war-torn Lenanon.
