Amihan lives on Culion Island, where some of the inhabitants –
including her mother – have leprosy.
Ami loves her home – with its blue seas and lush forests,
Culion is all she has ever known. But the arrival of malicious
government official Mr Zamora changes her world forever: islanders
untouched by sickness are forced to leave.
Banished across the sea, she's desperate to return, and finds
a strange and fragile hope in a colony of butterflies. Can they lead
her home before it's too late?
