February 28, 1947. Trapped inside their home due to an uprising that has rocked Taipei, Dr Tsai delivers his youngest daughter, the unnamed narrator of 'Green Island.' A few days later he is one of the many thousands of people dragged away from their families. Missing for a decade, he eventually returns a haunted man. Feeling a stranger in the midst of his family, who have carried on with their lives, he connects with his youngest daughter and unwittingly brings her into an uneasy political scene where neighbours are set against neighbours to survive. Eventually, she makes her way to Berkeley, California, a married woman and a student forced to decide between right and and what might save her family - a choice she witnessed her father make many years before.
