Necessary Evil

Necessary Evil examines the atrocities of war through the eyes of an innocent, a young man who doesn’t have a “dog in the fight.”

In 1944, American forces attack the small, Japanese-held island of Tinian. Tedtaotao, an orphaned native boy, must avoid both forces to survive. The Americans win, and Ted is thrown into a detention camp, but eventually becomes “adopted” by a squadron after he exposes a Japanese spy. When a massive force of U.S. bombers arrives on Tinian, he notices a few things that put him onto a top-secret project. Despite the risk of being shot as a spy, he stows away on a plane headed out to drop some sort of special “gadget” on Japan . At the end of the war, which nation will end up owning his homeland? Ted, who has watched the war as a neutral, must decide who he distrusts most, the Japanese who committed atrocities against his people, or the Americans who have unleashed the fires of hell and killed many thousands of innocents.
