It's the height of WWII, and the Nazi forces are driving through Europe. Decorated German fighter pilot Hans Vogel follows orders and doesn't ask questions. It's worked out well for him... so far. But when his plane is shot down in the middle of an air raid over London, he is dead before he hits the ground. And that's only the beginning of his problems. Sierra Barnes weaves a rich anti-fascist fairytale about the importance of recognising past wrongs, even (especially) when it's easier not to.
