1941. Steven Katz, the son of prosperous landowners in rural California, finds solace in the company of his close-knit group of friends: Nick, Suki, and Ollie, the sons of field workers. Despite his parents' disapproval, Steven forms deep bonds with them. However, his inner turmoil intensifies as he realizes his growing affection for Nick extends beyond mere friendship.
The outbreak of World War II brings a seismic shift to their lives. Suki and his family are forcibly displaced from their home and sent to the internment camp at Manzanar. Ollie joins the army and embarks on a journey overseas. Tragedy strikes when Nick is betrayed by his own father and falsely accused of a crime he didn't commit. In a moment of desperation, Nick turns to Steven for help, seeking refuge on his family's farm in a root cellar. Steven assumes the role of Nick's protector and lifeline to the outside world, providing him with the necessary support during this challenging period.
As the war intensifies, the bonds between Steven and his friends deepen, and their fear of being different dissipates. However, their happiness is short-lived when Nick unexpectedly disappears one day. Devastated, Steven sets out on a mission to find his missing friend, determined to uncover the truth and bring him back home. Along the way, Steven discovers a sense of belonging and learns a profound lesson about love that will stay with him throughout his lifetime.
