With the recent death of her mother, Sam's focus is the farm, which her family will lose if they can't make one last payment.

But Sam doesn't know that an even bigger threat looms on the horizon.On December 7, 1941, Japanese airplanes attack the US naval base at Pearl Harbor. Fury towards Japanese Americans ignites across the country.
