Germany, 1941. Seventeen-year-old Anna Goldberg finds herself confined to her home as the Nazi regime tightens its grip on her homeland.
When her father, Josef, learns of his impending arrest by the Gestapo, he fakes Anna's death and entrusts her to a mysterious friend who conceals her in the unlikeliest of places- right under the Nazis' noses.
As Anna navigates this perilous game of hide and seek, she must summon unparalleled courage to confront her enemies, armed only with the delicate yet deadly Lily of the Valley, whose sweet scent masks the poison within.
