When her mother announces a holiday vacation to Thailand, Tara isn't
thrilled. She'd rather stay home with her friends, but Mom is determined
they use the girls' trip to explore their Thai heritage. Tara is
reluctant to travel so far from home, especially to a country she
doesn't feel connected to. But then disaster strikes. The day after
Christmas, a massive tsunami sweeps through Phuket, Thailand. Tara's
resort vacation suddenly becomes a fight to survive - and find her
mother in the wreckage.
