"Come See The Paradise" is a deeply touching love story set against the backdrop of a dramatic and controversial period in American history. It follows the romance 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. The clash of cultures, at once painful for the two lovers, becomes insurmountable after the Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor. Lily and the Kawamuras are relocated to a bleak, outdoor internment camp in California; and Jack is drafted into the Army. But when Jack learns of the decree, he goes AWOL and returns to California to find his family.

During World War II, all Japanese immigrants and Americans of Japanese descent were forced to live in internment camps as prisoners of war. This is the story of a union organizer (Dennis Quaid) who goes AWOL from the Army to search for his Japanese wife and child in the camps.
