Japanese-occupied Malaya, 1945.



Cecily Alcantara’s children are in terrible danger.

Her eldest child Jujube, who works at a tea house frequented by drunk Japanese soldiers, becomes angrier by the day.

Jasmin, the youngest, lives confined in a basement for her own safety.

And her son, Abel, has disappeared without a trace.



Cecily knows two things: that this is all her fault; and that her family must never learn the truth.
