Two travelers meet in the late 1930s crossing the Pacific to America's Philippine territory. They establish a life together just before World War II arrives in the commonwealth and find themselves abandoned by their government as mere pawns of war. Interned on the campus of the University of Santo Tomas in Manila by the Japanese with thousands of other civilians, they must create a completely new life.
