The Philippines, 1941. Rose Williams arrives in Manila on her first assignment as a US Army Nurse, enthralled by the new environment and its promise of adventure. Although worlds away from the land she grew up in, Rose feels connected to her father, who worked in the Philippines before he died.

War seems like a distant threat as Rose takes midnight dips in a warm sea with the other nurses, explores secret corners of the island, and strikes up a romance with a locally stationed US Army soldier.
