After the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, the government sent a large number of Japanese Americans to detention camps. In 1945, three Japanese-American sisters return to their farm in Stockton, California, after years in an internment camp, however the once prosperous family finds it isn’t easy to pick up the pieces of their previous lives. As the facts of their deceased father’s last arrangements emerge, the sisters must interact to maintain their dreams alive.
