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

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?
