Two former adversaries, Yusuf al-Falah, a Muslim immigrant from Jerusalem, and Avi Rozen, an Israeli whose father was a casualty of war, found common ground during a survival trip in the Arizona mountains. This experience led them to establish Camp Moriah, a wilderness camp for troubled teenagers. They aimed to use their shared experiences to help young people like Jenny and Cory find their way.

However, not every parent was convinced by this unlikely partnership. Lou Herbert, whose son Cory had been in trouble with the law, was skeptical. He questioned whether the bond between Al-Falah and Rozen was genuine or just a marketing ploy to attract parents. Despite his doubts, he decided to give the camp a chance, driven by his curiosity about its unique backstory and the hope that it could help his son.

When it was time to leave for the camp, Jenny resisted. Al-Falah approached her with kindness, assuring her that the decision to go was entirely hers. As this was happening, the other children were boarding a van, their parents bidding them anxious farewells. The only exception was Jenny, who remained defiant. Rozen then invited the parents for an orientation session.

Lou cast a final glance at his son Cory, who was staring into the distance. Despite his reservations, he realized he had no other option but to entrust his son's future to Al-Falah and Rozen, the two former foes.
