1944, in remote Idaho, Meiko Briggs and her daughter are sent to an internment
camp. It doesn’t matter that Aiko is American-born: They are Japanese, and

and death. When a team of secretive doctors arrive, they must team up with a
newspaper reporter and widowed missionary to uncover the truth. Inspired by the
