A powerful love story that tells the heroic and tragic true story of the German resistance in World War II that resonates deeply in today's political climate.
When Hitler comes to power in 1933, a tight-knit group of friends and lovers become hunted outlaws overnight. United in their resistance to the madness and tyranny of Nazism, they must flee the country.

But England is not the safe haven they think it to be, and a single, chilling act of betrayal will tear them apart . . .
