In the Pearl Harbor era, a second-generation Japanese-American grapples with his identity amid the turmoil of World War II. Born in Los Angeles and educated in Japan, he returns to the USA and works at a Japanese newspaper.

Torn between his American upbringing and Japanese heritage, he decides to serve as a translator and goes to war.
