December 8th

After the attack on Pearl Harbor fractures their California farming community, two inseparable friends are torn apart by history: Lorne, a vengeful Marine, endures the psychological and physical torment of the Pacific island campaigns, while Lonnie, a Japanese-American fighting for dignity, navigates the injustice of an internment camp to the bloody trenches of Europe with the segregated 442nd—both struggling to preserve their humanity and fulfill a sacred pact to return home for the harvest.
