- A retired Honolulu man, a WWII veteran and member of the famed 442nd RCT, has visions of a young German soldier which recalls an incident from the war that haunts him still.
- It is 1999, and Tatsuo "Tats" Kaneshiro is a veteran of WWII living out his autumn days in the quiet seclusion of his suburban home in Hawaii. A member of the famed 442 RCT, the all Nisei (second generation Japanese American) infantry regiment that became the most decorated war unit in American history, Tats spends his time tending to his garden, watching television, and occasionally entertaining company like an old army buddy he plays chess with. His single parent daughter, Lynn, who has moved back home after her divorce, and attention deficit grandson, Ryan, live with him. But the peace that seemingly hovers over his daily existence masks his internal struggle. For though the war has been over for 50 years, Tats relives it every day due to a haunting secret about his time in battle that he has kept to himself. Inspired by the true life tendencies of many 442 veterans who have never told their families of their war experiences, "Shikata Ga Nai" tells of the battles that these now declining heroes have faced on their own without no one else knowing.
