A buried secret and a lifetime of guilt born in the dark heart of Nazi Germany

England, 2001. Elizabeth has always suspected her mother habours a secret from her time as a young woman in Nazi Germany. But her mother, suffering from dementia, is lost to her now.

When Elizabeth stumbles across a Nazi certificate amongst her parent's paperwork, it forces her to question the very foundations of her 1950s childhood and her first love; a childhood, she now realises, was built on lies.

Elizabeth's quest to find the truth leads her to Germany where she's met with a wall of silence. She knows that beyond this wall, is the truth, a truth that exists deep within the dark and twisted soul of Hitler's Germany.

Germany, 1944. 18-year-old Hannah, beautiful and naive, volunteers to work in a home for evacuated children. But Doctor Fick, a loyal Nazi, decrees that there's a better way for Hannah to serve the Fatherland.

Drawn further into the doctor's distorted world, Hannah only realises what's expected of her when it's too late. Confronted with evil, Hannah makes an impossible choice, a choice that will reverberate down the generations...
