LOGLINE

When the U.S Navy left Subic, Olongapo, Philippines in 1992 many children were left fatherless. Erica Berry is one of those Amerasians (half Asian/Filipino, half American) who tries to survive in the ‘jungle’ she has known to love and hate. But one thing she learned throughout the process of surviving is that family comes first and that her ‘kind’ has to stick together no matter what. Now, she has kept in touch with her father, John Berry, while she works as a model in Manila. Besides finding him through the internet, peers envied Erica more when her father urges her to come and stay with him in the U.S.. Erica goes on a ride to process her passport and ends up getting her birth certificate that bears a different name. Hurt and confused, Erica hides the truth from her alleged Father who surprises her with a visit to Olongapo. Erica embarks on a journey of truth as she discovers the meaning of what being a family truly is.
