Manila hotelier Steve Conway returns to Vietnam to look for an old wartime friend and falls in love with a local girl. But the relationship is threatened by cross-cultural differences, family resistance, and a jealous, dangerous suitor.

Conway persuades his employers to allow him to look at expanding their operation in Saigon. He has found the love of his life and the relationship blossoms but behind the scenes he is unaware that moves are taking place to bring about its destruction. He also does not realise he is being stalked by a crazy ex-Marine intent on killing him.

What started out as a short holiday becomes a turning point in Steve Conway's life, leading to a roller coaster ride of love, hate, murder and ultimate tragedy.
