American-born Skye
knows very little of her Japanese heritage. Her father taught her to
speak the language, but when their estranged Japanese family, including
Skye's grandfather, suddenly move to the United States, Skye must be
prepared to give up her All-Star soccer dreams to take Japanese lessons
and to help her cousin, Hiroshi adapt to a new school. Hiroshi,
likewise, must give up his home and his hopes of winning the rokkaku
kite-fighting championship with Grandfather. Faced with language
barriers, culture clashes and cousin rivalry, Skye and Hiroshi have a
rocky start. But a greater shared loss brings them together. They learn
to communicate, not only through language, but through a common heritage
and sense of family honor. At the rokkaku contest at the annual
Washington Cherry Blossom Festival, Hiroshi and Skye must work as a team
in order to compete with the best.
