In the summer of 2000, Israeli and Palestinian negotiators were on the brink of reaching a peace agreement. After years of negotiation, both sides seemed ready to move forward. Never before had the dream of peace seemed so close.

Within weeks, however, the window of opportunity had closed and the peace process had collapsed. The vision became blurred. Negotiations and reconciliation made way for anger and vengeance.

What went wrong? As the Middle East continues to erupt in violence between Israelis and Palestinians, the film examines the faltering, frustrating quest for peace.
