Tama lives on a beautiful Pacific Island with one major problem – climate change means that his island is slowly sinking. When the villages have to be evacuated, Tama’s nanny refuses to leave. She was born on the island the same night a storm shipwrecked a boat there and will only leave when the stuck-there-forever-boat leaves too. What will Tama be able to do to resolve this situation and convince his nanny to leave with them?
