Set in 1944 Chicago, twenty-year-old Aki Ito and her parents have just been released from Manzanar, where they have been detained by the US government since the aftermath of Pearl Harbor. On the eve of the Ito family's reunion, Aki's older sister Rose is killed by a subway train. Officials are ruling Rose's death a suicide.
