While looking for her biological father, Akemi discovers a long forgotten love affair between her mother and an American sailor during the chaos of postwar Japan. With only his name as a guide, she and her sister attempt to shed light on this hidden family secret. This is an immigrant story that spans from the bombing of Hiroshima to current-day America and links a devastating historical moment in time with a personal narrative of one family.
