During World War II, a Japanese-American man refuses to make a loyalty oath to the US or to serve in its armed forces, instead staying in internment camps and prison for years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When he finally returns to Seattle, he is shunned by the Japanese-American community, the girl he loves has married someone else, and his mother believes that Japan has won the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This full-cast performance shows a full range of emotions as the man wonders about finding hope while living with the choices he has made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
