Defying strict German laws, logic, and the rising tide of antisemitism, their forbidden love blossoms in the shadows, resulting in a beautiful baby boy.

For a few quiet years, they carve out a hidden paradise.

But safety under the Nazi regime is nothing more than a fragile illusion. On the night of their son’s birthday, as he giggles and blows out his candles, the outside world shatters.

As her world crumbles like a house of cards, she realizes her son harbors a secret that could send them all to the camps. To save him, she must prepare to risk absolutely everything.
