Inspired by real-life events, Ronald Bagliere's Out of the Rubble takes place in Kathmandu, Nepal, after the devastating earthquake of 2015. When Binod and Sila Thapa lose their children to human traffickers, Binod's friend Mick Hanson and his girlfriend come to their aid. But with the devastation of the city and the authorities overwhelmed from the quake, finding the children seems impossible. Living out of hotels and relatives' homes with nothing on their backs, Binod and Sila walk the streets in a desperate attempt to get back their children. Meanwhile, their friends devise a plan of their own to save the children, and delve into the dark world of seedy orphanages and unscrupulous bondsmen. But where are the children, and can they find them before they are lost forever?
