Stopping traditional medical treatments for her rapidly spreading cancer, visual artist Noelia (Rodriguez) returns to her native Vieques, Puerto Rico. She reunites with friends and family and rejoins their struggle against the lingering effects of U.S. imperialism and environmental devastation caused by the U.S. Navy’s ongoing military testing on the island. As Noelia’s health worsens, she and her neighbors secretly enter closed testing areas to document undetonated bombs and toxic remains, which intertwines her struggle to survive with that of the town. When an approaching hurricane threatens the island and Noelia rekindles an old romance, she faces the decision to either leave and seek treatment or stay with her community.
