It's about a group of young Hawaiian men that were sent to colonize Jarvis, Howland, and Baker islands in the 30s and 40s, by the US government, ultimately to claim them as potential air bases. They got just about as far away from it all as you can get: http://www.bishopmuseum.org/special/under_a_jarvis_moon.html http://www.flickr.com/photos/bishop_museum/sets/72157625047187285/
