The next day when Laura Bowan returned to the hotel she realized that she has misplaced her passport the night before. The Burmese government will not allow anyone to leave the country without a passport, so she is unable to leave the country with her sister and the rest of her tour group. .

Laura meets an unofficial tour guided named U Aung Ko, he brings Laura through checkpoints to meet the people of Burma and he also brings her to places that regular travelers do not normally get to see. U Aung Ko is a pro-democracy activists and the Burmese government declares marital law.
