Overview

An American doctor, Alec Windom, has found himself in an isolated Southeast Asian village some seven years after World War II. Rejecting a successful career and marriage to a wealthy and influential woman, Windom now finds meaning in bringing treatments and medicine to people who are virtually enslaved by the owners of a rubber plantation. Into this situation arrives Lee, Windom's estranged wife, who has journeyed into the jungle to reconcile and live with her husband in primitive conditions. Just as it appears things are working out, a workers' uprising upsets the finely tuned sense of order Windom had achieved in the village. To make matters worse, the village workers soon find themselves aligned with and part of a communist insurgency. The village will become a battleground between the government and the peasants. And Alec Windom will find his principles and beliefs tested beyond anything he could have imagined.
