In 1933 Berlin, ten-year-old Hanni Foss stands beside her adored father, Reiner, watching the torchlit celebrations marking Adolf Hitler’s rise to power. But her happy childhood evaporates almost overnight as her father is consumed by ruthless ambition, ultimately becoming the brutal commandant of an infamous concentration camp. Horrified by his monstrous crimes, Hanni risks everything to secretly photograph the atrocities inside the camp, vowing to hold him accountable.
Twelve years later, as the Nazi regime collapses, Hanni flees her father and hides under a false identity on the fringes of a ruined, divided Berlin. Her quiet life of hiding is shattered when she discovers a dead body hidden inside a bombed-out building. The gruesome discovery forces her path to cross with Freddy Schlüssel, a tortured young detective investigating a string of post-war murders.
