Summary: In the shadow of war, Taro and his family are uprooted to an internment camp. As his younger brother Jimmy weakens, Taro defies the camp's confines, sneaking out nightly to catch fish, hoping to revive Jimmy's spirit. Amidst barbed wire and uncertainty, Taro's daring acts of love and courage challenge the harsh realities of their new world. Will his efforts be enough to sustain his brother and family? This poignant tale, rooted in true events, explores resilience and the bonds that hold us together in the darkest times.
