In 1941, 12-year old, Duke Jordan, misses the opportunity to say goodbye to the father he worships when Sport Jordan leaves for an oil drilling job in the Philippines to deliver his family from The Depression.
Not wanting his father to go, Duke picks the wrong time to hold a petty grudge as he refuses to see his father off. How could a boy know that his father was headed into the teeth of a Japanese juggernaut? Has he missed his only opportunity to say "goodbye" or "I love you?"
Sixty years later, Duke's own son presents him with a mysterious box chronicling Sport's incredible odyssey as a courageous blockade-runner and a prisoner of war. Lt. Kikuchi demonstrates that he can mercilessly starve bodies and crush bones, but can he destroy the spirit of a man determined to see his family again?
FATHERS SONS AND A HOLY GHOST is a true-life family drama. It is a family's song of love and hope that crescendos into a historic climax and a father's desperate attempt to make his family whole again.
