It is April, 1943, and Kenzo Takei, a five-year-old Japanese-American boy, witnesses the violent death of a white camp employee in the apple orchard at the Manzanar concentration camp in California. He's too young to understand what he's seen fully, but years pass and he's an adult living in San Clemente when the killer enters his life again. This time the victim is a ravishing young Japanese geisha that Kenzo has just met. And now he finds himself implicated not only in her murder, but entangled in a web of deceit that leads him back to the notorious camps at Manzanar and Tule Lake, and into conflict with a cast of criminals from Little Tokyo in L.A. and from Japan.
