"Set in the Pacific Northwest a few years after the end of World War II, the story follows Ishmael Chambers (Ethan Hawke), a journalist reporting on the trial of a Japanese-American accused of murdering a local fisherman.

The trial forces the entire village to face the shame of sending their Japanese-American neighbors to internment camps following the bombing of Pearl Harbor and becomes the turning point for the honorable but wounded Ishmael to free himself from his obsessive passion for his childhood love, the Japanese-American woman now married to the accused."--BOOK JACKET.
