Natalie is a young Gold Coast mother with a loving husband, two small children and a happy lifestyle. While helping her mother move house, she finds a little box containing a Burmese artefact. When Natalie learns its unique history through a letter left by her great great uncle, it ignites an interest in its country of origin and her uncle’s unfulfilled plans for this curio.
