Following the devastating 2004 tsunami, two families find their lives irrevocably altered. The story centers on a Tamil family who lost a young child during the disaster and a Sinhalese girl who, ten years later, displays a remarkable connection to Tamil language and memories of a past life. A distinctive birthmark leads the family to believe she may be their lost daughter, forcing her to confront a difficult choice between her biological family and the one that raised her.
