His mission is to oversee the acquisition and transformation of a sprawling, historic rubber plantation—affectionately known by the locals as the Colony—into a luxurious, modern eco-resort. Driven by the promise of a lucrative partnership back home, David approaches his assignment with ruthless efficiency, entirely indifferent to the cultural significance and emotional attachment the local workers hold toward the land.Upon arrival, David clashes immediately with Mai, the fiercely independent estate manager whose family has overseen the Colony for generations.
