In 1941, when her family is murdered in Warsaw, Brina, 18, a Polish Jew, gains a transit visa that lands her in pro-Germany Japan where she strives to come to terms with who she can be in a world that’s been turned upside down. Will she survive in a country that is pro-Germany and how will she find “home” when all the people she loved are gone?
