As their relationship unfolds, they face cultural and social challenges that test the boundaries of love and acceptance.Bloody Mary, a wise and witty philosopher on the island, adds to the complexity of their story as she claims to be Liat's mother - the beautiful woman who has stolen the heart of Lieutenant Joseph Cable USMC.
