A historical drama about a young orphan's difficult adjustment to an arranged marriage in early 20th-century Hawaii, grounded in cultural displacement and the slow formation of female friendship and acceptance.

Riyo, an orphaned 17-year old, sails from Yokohama to Hawaii in 1918 to marry Matsuji, a man she has never met. Hoping to escape a troubled past and start anew, Riyo is bitterly disappointed upon her arrival: her husband is twice her age. The miserable girl finds solace with her new friend Kana, a young mother who helps Riyo accept her new life.
