A deeply moving love story set against the backdrop of a dramatic and controversial period in American history, Come See The Paradise follows the courtship and eventual marriage of Jack McGurn (Dennis Quad), a hot-blooded Irish American, and a beautiful Japanese American, Lily Dawanura (Tamlyn Tomita), at the outset of World War II, and their subsequent marriage. After the Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor, the collision of cultures becomes insurmountable for the two lovers, who are already suffering from it. Lily and the Kawamura family have been relocated. Jack is conscripted into the Army and sent to a desolate, outdoor detention camp in California, where he is unable to help the lady he loves and has given up all hope of ever winning her family's acceptance.
