When fourteen-year-old Ellen Theodora Madigan's dad moves the family to Munich, Germany for his job, her paranormal sensitivity goes into high alert. Almost at once, she senses that something may have happened in the basement of Haus Falke, the home they have rented. When the boy next door tells her that two medical students died during a WWII Allied bombing attack there, something feels "off." Ellen's intuition fueled by perceptive dreams, the remnants of an old diary and an odd photo in an antique locket leads the two teenagers to delve deeper. Together, they uncover a trail that leads to a very small network of people who worked against Nazi influence. This all-too-rare display of German resistance to the terror of Hitler's regime magnifies how things might have been different if the majority had acted.
