After narrowly escaping a British officer who is determined to arrest her for war crimes, Clara returns home to Essen, seeking refuge with her friend Elisa. She finds the city in ruins and Elisa missing. As Clara tracks down her friend, she encounters Jakob, a charismatic young man working on the black market who is also searching for Elisa. They must work together to find the truth and stay ahead of the British officer who is resolved to make Clara answer for her family's complicity in the Nazi regime.
