- In 1950, five years after their release from internment, the women return to Singapore for a reunion, unaware of the intrigue that is to involve them in treachery and murder.
- It's 1950, and the British, Australian, and Dutch women who were imprisoned together in Japanese camps during WWII remember their promise to have a five-year reunion in Singapore. Everybody's lives have moved on and changed, and each member of the group must reconcile herself to the changes that being a prisoner has made upon her life. Plans to stay in the country at Dominica's plantation, however, are disrupted when Communist bandits hold them at gunpoint and suddenly everybody's back in familiar territory, and wondering who the traitor among them is...—Kathy Li
- In 1950 Marion,divorced from Clifford,meets up in London with shop-owner Dorothy and they plan the promised reunion with the other survivors,journeying out to Singapore. Mrs. Van Meyer has remarried after her first husband's death and is now the wife of English Teddy Forster-Brown,the couple hosting the other women,Stephen,Jake and Christina's boyfriend Lau Peng for the weekend. Sister Ulrica is the last to arrive after her van was stopped at a road block but when she turns up Communist rebels jump out of the back and Christina has to intervene to stop them shooting Dr. Mason. The rebels take all the ammunition from the house,telling the women to leave the country,but Sister Ulrica is wounded and taken to hospital. Marion and Dorothy find evidence that Christina and Lau Peng were behind the attack,given Christina's antipathy to British rule and the fact that she prevented the attackers from shooting her friends. Christina is arrested and visited in prison by Marion. Stephen and Dr. Mason decide to give up the Centre and return to England,leaving its running to Alice, Kate and Duncan,an Australian doctor who knew Tom in the prison camp. Come Christmas they serve dinner to the locals,along with Sister Ulrica whilst the others celebrate in London with Marion - except Christina,who sits alone in her cell.—don @ minifie-1
