Set against the backdrop of early 20th century Alaska, the narrative follows Shoki Kayamori, a Japanese immigrant who became an integral part of a Tlingit village. His passion for photography captured the essence of community life, earning him the title 'Picture Man.' As World War II approached, Kayamori faced racial scrutiny, leading to his tragic suicide. Margaret Thomas examines his life through his photographs, revealing the socio-political struggles of Asian immigrants and the complex dynamics of village life during a transformative era in Alaska's history.
