In this intense portrayal of the aftermath of the 2004 Asian Tsunami, East and West come together to battle the odds. Sarah, an American girl on vacation with her family on a boat off the coast of the Indonesian Province of Aceh, meets up with Ruslan, an Indonesian boy desperately searching for his father in the chaotic aftermath of the tsunami.

This unique telling of the story shows not only the horror of the greatest natural disaster in living memory, but also the meeting of two cultures, the misconceptions, misunderstandings and ultimately the compassion, cooperation, and friendship between these two young people as they overcome their suspicions and open themselves to understanding.
