Lieutenant Kate De Marco, an army nurse, and Captain Robert
Coleman, an infantry officer, met in the Philippines in 1940.
Finding themselves in one of the most romantic locations in the
world, their love grew even as the winds of war threatened to drive
them apart. After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, their lives changed
completely, as American and Filipino soldiers surrendered to the
Japanese in Bataan. Kate and Robert were separated in the
melee.
Evacuated to the relative safety of nearby Corregidor Island,
Kate kept a diary, where she recorded her longing for Robert's safe
return. Meanwhile, Robert opted not to surrender and instead swam
the precarious two miles from Bataan to Corregidor in search of his
love. As the Japanese threatened to take Corregidor, Kate hid her
diary in the walls of an underground tunnel, where it stayed for
seventy years.
In 2012, Lisa Newhouse and Brandon Wales, two graduate students
from the University of Tennessee, travel to Corregidor with a study
group and discover Kate's lost diary. Inspired by her words and her
love for Robert, they too admit their shared feelings. Although the
intersection of their lives with that of Kate and Robert is
coincidence, the diary leads them on a journey, which will change
their lives forever.
