Set against the backdrop of the Vietnam War's final days, the story follows eight-year-old Long, a mixed-blood child in a Saigon orphanage. As North Vietnamese forces advance, he faces uncertainty about his future in a country hostile to his heritage. His only chance for safety lies in Operation Babylift, a U.S. initiative to airlift vulnerable children to America. With a family in Ohio ready to adopt him, Long grapples with the heart-wrenching decision of leaving his homeland and beloved grandmother behind.
