Aisha Gravis is an All-American girl, the daughter of a Korean and a retired marine, but all that is about to change. As threat of a third world war reaches an all-time high, fear pits neighbor against neighbor. When the racial tension boils over in her home town, Aisha's worried father signs her mother and her over to the "Safe-Keepers" program; a program instated by the US government to protect various races of first generation immigrants. It doesn't take long, however, for Aisha to realize the program is a devastating ruse.

Will anything or anyone ever be able to restore that faith? When a young US soldier reaches out to her, she begins to believe that maybe he can.
