She is frustrated and moody due to her repressive home life and shares a pyromaniac fascination with her dead grandfather. Irene responds by burning all her motherís photographs and remaining family heirlooms and sets out on a cross country journey with her boyfriend, Luke, in search of her familyís hidden past. Throughout the journey, she is guided by the ghost of her sister (whose death has been a struggle for her). Irene meets up with Aura, a political activist, whose parents were interned at the same camp on the road. In the end, they travel together to the site of their parentsí former prison to come to terms with their parentsí experiences in camp. The film is an uncompromised reframing and rearticulation of how the internment/concentration camps have affected generations of Japanese Americans in memory and in life.
