This story of lost ideals, human devotion, and difficult redemption begins during the Vietnam War and continues into the present day.

1969, Saigon. As the devastating war escalates, two sisters, Chang and Quynh, eager to help their parents pay off their debts, leave their home village and find work as waitresses in a bar in the capital. But in the big city, the naive girls are met with a cruel epiphany: to earn money, they will have to learn not only English but also the art of "comforting" American soldiers! With doll-like smiles and clenched teeth, the sisters entertain the soldiers until the older sister meets Dan, a charming American helicopter pilot. A genuine passion instantly blossoms between the young people...

Decades later, American veteran Dan Ashland and his wife Linda fly to Vietnam to deal with the ghosts of the past—a journey that will change his entire life.
