Hom’s mother, Da, believes that Gee’s spirit has not left Hom, and decides to head out to Ranong to meet Gee’s family. There she meets a Burmese doctor, and with his help, she searches out Gee’s brother Pew. Then she finds out that Gee was a Muslim. Meanwhile Hom makes friends with an orphan boy, Thar Gyi, whose father was lost at sea. The boy deeply misses his father. Hom and Da continue their journey, meeting various Burmese people and forging a special bond with them.
