An island doesn't know how to love. It's just a dot on the map.

Right now, our home island, our home, is exploding and collapsing into the sea, descending to where it once rose. Perhaps its existence was a mistake in the first place; perhaps the island is a child born by accident, grew too big, and now needs to be destroyed.

Tristan da Cunha is one of the most remote places on Earth from the continents. The islanders breathe the ocean, speak the same language as the rocks and the birds. They know how to be silent like no one else. And like no one else, they know how to love.

But there are those among them who can't sit still.
Like Lars. He often leaves home, leaving his wife and son for long periods of time. One day, overseas, Lars meets a new love and decides never to return. Until the newspapers bring news that the volcano on his home island has awakened.
