TANFORAN RACETRACK HORSE STALLS DESTINED TO BECOME HOME FOR JAPANESE AMERICAN INTERNEES!

On December 7, 1941, the Japanese Navy inflicted a serious blow on the United States military assets at Pearl Harbor. For Ben Okura, a Japanese American boy living in California, his life as he knew it was to change drastically. President Roosevelt ordered all Japanese Americans living along the west coast of the United States sent to internment camps. Ben's new life was to begin at the Tanforan Assembly Center. He and his mama were now separated from everything they had known and loved. His life had already been turned upside-down and he thought it couldn't get worse. Ben found himself being trapped and manipulated by strange people who, for some reason, were out to get him. In his wildest dreams, he never could understand why he was now being hounded by the FBI as a supposed traitor. Ben began to believe his new problems could all be traced back to mind-bending meetings with a strange man held in what was to become the mysterious barrack 49, apartment 1. Ben began to doubt his own sanity. Who is Ben Okura really?
