Advisory: Contains some coarse language

Laurie and Scott settle into their new expatriate lives at Sentosa Cove only to discover that not all is as it seems.

Synopsis:

A solitary banana tree remains on the shore, the sole survivor amongst its compatriots, lost to the need for the space they occupied; a lone banana tree that is the last repository of the stories of those shores - of fishermen, turtles and the sea itself. Alone it sings the same refrain - but who listens?
