Like her dad Wilhelm, Johanna also runs a clinic; but unlike his, hers isn’t in the African bush! She never understood her father’s decision to tend to the poor of this god-forsaken place. When he passes away, Johanna arrives and meets the rough-hewn bush pilot Thomas, a friend of Wilhelm’s. At first, Johanna wants to sell the hospital and leave as quickly as possible; but then an emergency landing in the desert with Thomas changes everything and spells the start of a rewarding new life.
