While tending victims of Hurricane 'Iniki on the neighbouring island of Kaua'i, she meets Nikolai, a Russian filmmaker with a violent and tragic past who can confront reality only through his unique prism of lies. Yet he is dedicated to recording the ecological horrors in his motherland and across the Pacific. As their lives inextricably intertwine, Ana and Nikolai embark on an odyssey that sweeps from rural Hawai'i to the forbidding Arctic wastes of Russia
