One of them, Robert, wins fame on the battlefield; two generations later his grandson Kane is an aspiring novelist in Hawaii.

As Kane and Mana begin to trace their own roots and untangle the riddles surrounding their family histories, the story connects past and present and future, America and Europe and Japan.
