-At 18 years old, Marika Antoniewicz knows she must take action not just for herself, but for her family. The once picturesque town of Krakow, Poland that she once grew up in is nothing more than a pile of shambles now left to forage in. Surrounded by all the chaos and horrors of war, Marika is determined to make a difference starting by smuggling her younger sisters out of Nazi occupied Poland into Switzerland soil. Marika's parlous plan takes a drastic turn of events when she encounters the presence of Kommandant Hans Wilhelm Schneider.
Hans Wilhelm Schneider doesn't know what he wants in life. Being forced into work with his fellow men, he feels numbed by the horror he sees every day. Wilhelm despised the person he was becoming and would do anything to change his ways...even if it meant helping a Jewish woman smuggle her two sisters out of occupied Poland.
As the hands of time twist their fate, Marika and Wilhem know they can't possibly have what they both desperately want. As their feelings for each other grow, will they be able to manage the secrets they hold to welcome a new life?-
