RISING ACTION
Tarina alkaa Tet The Vietnam uudenvuoden 1975. Kim Ha elämää Saigonissa hänen rakastava perhe: äiti ja vanhempaa veljeä Quang, Vû ja Khôi. Vietnam on ollut sodassa vuosikymmenien ajan, mutta Saigon on toistaiseksi Etelä-Vietnamin hallituksen valvonnassa. Kuitenkin on vain ajan kysymys, ennen kuin kommunistiset pohjois-vietnamilaiset ottavat vallan.
CLIMAX
Hà's father disappeared nine years ago on a mission for the South Vietnamese Navy. He is considered "missing in action." They miss their father terribly and Hà's mother has to support the family on her own. It is very difficult as the war makes everything scarce. With the impending siege of Saigon by the North Vietnamese, people have begun evacuating. Hà's family must decide whether to stay or try to flee.
FALLING ACTION
Hà's family makes the difficult decision to flee. They must leave everything behind except what they can carry in small backpacks. They board a South Vietnamese Navy ship that is repurposed for refugees with hundreds of others and sail for weeks with little food and water. Saigon falls to the North Vietnamese and South Vietnam is no more. They luckily make it to the United States where they are taken in by a generous "Cowboy" and his unkind wife.
PÄÄTÖSLAUSELMA
Hà's family start over in America. They face hateful racism from their neighbors. English is difficult to learn. Hà is bullied at school. Hà confides in her mother that she is miserable and wishes they could have stayed in Vietnam. Her family and a few new friends help Hà to stand up to the main bully, "Pink Boy". Brother Vû Lee arrives on his motorcycle and intimidates the boy. At school, things begin to change for the better after that.
One day when Hà's mother is at work, she accidentally loses her wedding ring. It was the last tie the family had to their father. They had always believed that he would somehow return but this misfortune seems like a sign for the family to accept his death and move on. Together they hold a traditional funeral ceremony for him.
