In 1959, Sangley Point in Cavite, Philippines, is a naval station of the United States of America that was built for communication purposes, at the same time, a hospital facility.
Dr. Kenneth Lewis, an American doctor, is stationed there with his wife, while Teresa Reyes is a young Filipina widow who makes a living as a seamstress to save money for her daughter’s education and future. Somehow, the lives of these four people get intertwined because of a tragedy and connected by an unlikely reason—the sampaguita, which is the national flower of the Philippines.
This is where it all started—the unspoken feelings and the unrequited love of 30 years that will outlast distance and silence.
