In German-occupied Paris, 17-year-old Margaux’s life changes forever when her photo is used in Nazi propaganda, branding her family as collaborators. With her lover arrested and her family’s prospects shattered, Margaux is thrust into a web of danger and betrayal.

Decades later, in 2008, Margaux lives quietly in a retirement home while her granddaughter Barbara struggles to make ends meet, renting out a room in Margaux’s old Paris apartment. But when Barbara discovers Roger, a photographer with a knack for unearthing secrets, on her couch during a snowstorm lockdown, buried truths about Margaux’s wartime past begin to surface. As revelations unfold, Barbara must decide if she’s ready to face her family’s hidden history—and open herself to an unexpected future.
