Follows the experiences of a teen who visits New York on the tenth anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attack and searches for his estranged American father before returning to his tsunami-stricken home in coastal Japan.

While his father is missing in action in the Pacific during World War II, twelve-year-old Jay moves with his mother to small-town Utah, where he sees prejudice from both sides, as a part-Navajo himself and through an unlikely friendship with Japanese American Ken from the nearby internment camp.
