In the heart of the Malaysian jungle, the complex marriage of Jim Frazer and his wife Liz, owners of a rubber plantation, teeters on the precipice of collapse.

A silent resolution solidifies in her heart - she will not return, a truth she hides from Jim. Just as they prepare to part ways, a chilling event unfolds: a nearby plantation falls prey to the bandits, its owner meeting a grim fate. Thrown into a whirlwind of danger, Liz and Jim race to a neighboring town, their mission: secure arms and ammunition. A night of unspeakable dread descends upon them as the bandits launch their assault. The Planter's Wife paints a vivid tapestry of courage, love, and survival, enveloped in the exotic, perilous beauty of the Malaysian wilderness.
