A few years after World War 2, tormented veteran pilot, Benny James crashes into the Pacific Ocean, leaving him stranded on an island, and his daughter home with no one to look after her. This is a story that bounces between daughter, Molly, who has been left orphaned by the accident, and her father, Benny who she desperately believes is still alive, despite others telling her otherwise.
On the island, Benny battles the demons of his past, while struggling with the idea of his daughter being left alone with no one else to look after her.
