In 2020 Brooklyn, high school senior Miles and his best friend discover a scrapbook that leads them to investigate the mysterious disappearance of two best friends in 1940s Germany. The story weaves together three timelines—2020 Brooklyn during Covid-19, 1980s West Berlin, and 1940s Nazi Germany—as characters across decades grapple with friendship, identity, and standing up against injustice.
