She cares for the soldier, for a start, and he has news of a mysterious plague that is devastating the barracks from which has escaped.

Sensing that this may be their time, the revolutionary forces rally for one more attempt to overthrow their oppressors. It won't be easy for them to bring the different voices together, but the window of opportunity won't be open for long. As the situation develops, Rosa's world is turned upside down.
Her desire to heal and her support for the cause soon clash and finding compromise is not going to be easy.
