1944 in remote Idaho Meiko Briggs and her daughter are sent to an internment camp. It doesn't
matter that Aiko is American-born: They are Japanese and therefore a threat to the American
government. They cling to elements of their own life as a mysterious disease spreads through
the camp causing paranoia violence and death. When a team of secretive doctors arrive they
must team up with a newspaper reporter and widowed missionary to uncover the truth. Inspired by
the Japanese yokai and the jorogumo spider demon witness the danger of demonization and
xenophobia.
