The chaos and heartbreak of World War II are the driving forces of this story about Elise and Mariko. They are American born children of parents that immigrated many years ago from Germany and Japan. The two meet and form a friendship during the time their families are sent to an internment camp in Texas. As the state of affairs for the US changes and shifts between Germany and Japan, both families are caught up in duty, alliance and life changing circumstances.
Leaving the country with only a suitcase of clothes, passports, birth certificates and family photos, Elise is torn away from her best friend and hopes they can keep in touch and reunite in New York when they are both 18.
A lifetime later, Elise diagnosed with Dementia, is determined to find her long lost friend, Marika, once again.
