Despite the dangers and restrictions imposed by the Nazi regime, Leyna finds friendship and love with Lutz (George MacKay), a young member of the Hitler Youth. Their relationship is complicated by their racial differences and the fact that Lutz's father is a high ranking Nazi soldier.
As their bond deepens, their world becomes increasingly dangerous, forcing them to go to great lengths to protect their relationship.
