In 1956, orphaned and partially blind, Hiroshima survivor Takashi was invited by the American Government to the United States to "regain his health." A second grader when the atomic bomb dropped, with six members of his family dead of radiation poisoning, Takashi embarked for the U.S. at 18. As soon as he landed in California, Takashi realized that he had been identified as an eligible subject for experimentation undertaken by the ABCC (Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission) to understand the effects of intense radioactive energy on the human body. Takashi"s story is the journey of an angry young man whose misfortunes begin after the Hiroshima bombing. It is a story of revenge, acceptance of the past, and forgiveness.
