Spoilers ahead
Flower, Rosalind Chao, stands at the center of a mixed-race group of orphan girls and a Catholic nun who flee Indochina in 1954, escaping the brutal changes of the region as the communists take over. Their fragile flight is battered by a sudden, violent storm, sending them into a tense struggle for survival as they drift toward an uncertain fate. The years pass, and by 1979 a different crisis unfolds: six men from an oil company are attempting to reach Guam in a sea plane so that one of them—injured and blind—can receive medical care. Their journey goes off course when radio and navigation equipment fail during an electrical storm, and they crash on the shore of a remote, forgotten island.
