When 10-year-old Jacqueline Falna hears her mother’s scream, she is unaware that the axis of her world is about to tilt. Her father’s plane has been shot down by German fighters. In the midst of poverty, food shortages, air raids, and the grinding hardship of daily life under Nazi rule, she forms an unlikely alliance with David Bergier, a 12-year-old Jewish neighbor, who poses as her cousin after his family is “relocated” by the Nazis. When Rennes is liberated, Jacqueline meets an American soldier and becomes convinced that he has been sent to reunite her with her father.

By early 1940, after almost a decade of planning and implementing stricter and more aggressive anti-Semitic laws, the "Final Solution", Hitler's plan to exterminate the Jewish people, is set in place. Ethel Rosenberg, along with other members of the Young Communist League, attempts to draw isolationist America into the European war to stop the genocide. Just prior to World War II, a plan is set in place to infiltrate the highest offices of the War Department.
