Twin sisters are separated in childhood but reunited in later life when they discover they were on opposing sides in the war.

Twin sisters, Lotte and Anna, share a bond that only they can understand. But when war comes between them, they discover that even the deepest bonds have their limits. Over ten years after being cruelly separated as children, Lotte and Anna are at last reunited. Neither had lost of hope of seeing each other again, but with a turbulent Europe now on the verge of war, they find that much between them has changed. Lotte has enjoyed a privileged upbringing in liberal Holland, while Anna endured a life of poverty in a Germany increasingly entranced by Hitler's spell. With Lotte planning to marry a Jewish musician and Anna brainwashed by the anti-semitic propaganda of the Third Reich, it does not take long for the first cracks to appear in their relationship. And this is just the beginning. Can two lives, torn apart by the blood of their separate pasts, ever be reconciled?
