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.
