History that must be taught to future generations.

The film is set in New York during the Second World War and follows 12-year-old Steven, whose father disappears at Grand Central Station. To Steven’s great surprise, his father is accused of espionage. Steven teams up with Miriam, a 14-year-old Jewish refugee, and together they set out to get Steven’s father back and prove his innocence. They face dangers and secrets that test both family bonds and their newfound friendship. Spies try but fail to stop Miriam and Steven as the two discover a mysterious group they never expected to find.
