At the end of the war, Nell is released from an internment camp in Indonesia. While searching for her father in the chaos, she meets and becomes close to Tim, who is looking for his family too. Nell's journey takes her first to Singapore then to a new life and new friends in Australia. Finally, she has a ticket to visit her father in the Netherlands. But will Nell really be able to settle there - and will she ever see Tim again?

Based on a true story, this is an exciting tale of courage and friendship, hope and determination, about the search for love and a place to finally call home.
