Monroe recalls attending Las Vegas High School and Bonanza High School, and the struggle of making new friends as a young person.
In the second interview, the mother and daughter discuss racism, discrimination, and identity.

June Monroe discusses how she came to be proud of her Japanese heritage, while Atomura discusses some of the community activities she has been involved in since living in Las Vegas including the Japanese Culture Club and odori dancing. Then, both Atomura and Monroe discuss Monroe's brother, Brian, who received two kidney transplants; one from Monroe's father and one from Monroe herself. Atomura talks about the shrines she has built for Brian, the experience of him being on dialysis, care taking, and his final days.
