Eddy Okubo lies about his age and joins the army in his hometown of Honolulu only weeks before the Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor. Suddenly Americans see him as the enemy--even the U.S. Army doubts the loyalty of Japanese American soldiers.

Here they are given a special job, one that only they can do. Eddy's going to help train attack dogs. He's going to be the bait.
