For different reasons, Irish Catholic nun Sister Angela and U.S. Marine Corporal Allison are stranded on deserted Tuasiva Island in the South Pacific in 1944, the island deserted due to circumstances of World War II. When the Japanese bomb the island and set up what looks to be a weather station on the island, Allison and Sister Angela are forced into hiding.
