Imagine a dusty airfield as American C47s fly in to move an entire Indian Division to stem a Japanese attack.
Eight nurses, lost during the debacle, fly out with the troops. Picture, Emma, the American Puritan from New England, Georgina, the English Aristocrat and their British Empire colleagues. There is a master sergeant from Harlem and a Jewish pilot from Yonkers to add to the mix. Each experience life in all its deadly facets. We learn their histories, share their dreams, and witness attitudes change by the day. The survivors, with the monsoon imminent, seek shelter in an abandoned mine. The girls experience the thrill of living away from the constraints of normality, with the added realization that tomorrow might never come for them. Primeval instincts come to the fore. The monsoon over `the pride’ face the hazards of the war torn jungle, the Japanese and each their destiny. Few expected to come out of the jungle alive and for many they are right.
