Following the attack on Pearl Harbor, fourteen Japanese-American teens who grew up together in Japantown, San Francisco, find their lives irrevocably changed when over 100,000 people of Japanese ancestry are removed from their homes and forced into desolate incarceration camps.

Description
It has been eighty years since the Axis won World War II, and America was divided between the victors: the Nazis in the East and Imperial Japan in the West; but now resistance is growing in the Eastern territories and sixteen-year-old Chinese American Ren Cabot, who has every reason to hate the Japanese who executed his mother, finds himself drawn into a resistance group and confronted with choices that could lead to freedom--or death.
