His family has relocated to southern France to outrun Hitler's menace. But Julien doesn't want to run.

Angry, frustrated, and itching to do something, Julien finds a battle everywhere he turns. Soon after his family opens their house to a Jewish boy needing refuge, Julien meets Nina, a young Austrian who has fled her home by her father's dying command. Nina's situation is grave and Julien suddenly realizes the enormity of having someone's life or death depend on ... him. Thrown together by a conflict that's too big for them to understand, each one struggles to know what to do, even if it is not enough. Is there a greater purpose in the shadows of this terrible war? Or will their choices put them in greater danger?
