Summary:
In 1975, refugee camps were set up across the deserts of the United States to house an exodus of over 100,000 Vietnamese immigrants before and immediately after the fall of Saigon.

A Marine is in charge of housing the refugees until sponsors can be found to help them assimilate into American life. Tai, who speaks English becomes a translator for the Marine.
