A daughter searches for her missing mother amidst the lingering shadows of the Vietnam War.
Blanche "Bang" Murninghan's peaceful life on Santa Maria Island is disrupted when Jean McMahon arrives, seeking help in finding her mother, Tam Li, who disappeared during the Vietnam War. Drawn by a shared connection to the conflict—Blanche's father was killed in action there—she agrees to help.
Their search takes them to Vietnam, where they navigate bustling cities and hidden corners, encountering war veterans, mysterious figures, and long-held secrets. As Blanche and Jean delve deeper, they uncover a web of blackmail and danger, forcing them to confront not only the past but also the powerful forces determined to keep it buried. Can they find Tam Li and bring peace to a family torn apart by war, or will the mission prove too improbable?
