On the sun-scorched coast of central Vietnam, Cát, an innocent young woman, lives with her sister Mai in a modest house near a seaside resort. Deeply attached to nature, Cát is determined to protect the sand-dwelling lizards threatened by human activity. Her beliefs bring her into conflict with Tuyết, an ambitious resort owner who plans to modernize the area by constructing a pier on the land occupied by the sisters' home. As Tuyết resorts to increasingly ruthless tactics to acquire their property, Cát finds friendship in Nam while struggling to preserve the fragile natural world she loves. The escalating conflict exposes the destructive consequences of greed and the clash between commercial development and environmental preservation.
