When his US Navy officer father dies, teenage Sam Pinkerton discovers he’s the son of a Japanese mother, and follows his heart to find her. Too late.

Accepted among the Jazz-Age youth, he falls in love with blonde Nicola. One slip, however, will reveal his identity and mean prison for Sam. Now truly between two worlds -- Nagasaki and Mayumi waiting with his children, or America and his deep love for Nicola. Desert Mayumi the way his father betrayed Butterfly? Where does young Sam belong in the world?
