Description
Determined to escape her family, who are closely tied to the Nazis, Libby wants to rebuild her life as far away from them as possible. But in the city, no one escapes Hitler's iron grip. When her friend tragically disappears, she realizes she can no longer remain a spectator. Her destiny takes an unexpected turn when she meets Harro, a young man with whom she falls madly in love. Yet, behind his unsettling blue eyes lies a painful past. The whip scars on his back, remnants of the abuse inflicted by the SS, reveal his involvement with the resistance. Little by little, the brave activist draws her into his clandestine struggle. Together, they risk everything to try to overthrow the regime. With each mission, the fear of losing him gnaws at her. How could she go on living without him? It is then that the threat intensifies. Libby senses they are being watched: their movements are scrutinized and their calls are intercepted. Will the couple survive the cruelty of the regime they defy?
