Based on a true story, the film is set in the 1930s in Vancouver, where a group of Canadian-born 2nd generation Japanese kids formed a baseball team called the Asahi in a small Japantown. Struggling with racism and prejudice as their country heads into World War II, the Asahi members join forces to make a difference through their passion for baseball.
