But what the Germans don t know is that there are circus performers with secrets of their own. And when Lia a performer known for her bravery on the trapeze finds herself with nowhere else to go but back to the circus she d left 18 years ago she does so with two small orphaned Jewish children in tow, who she s sworn to protect.
As the circus s numbers swell with people desperate to hide, and threats come not only from the Nazis but from one who seeks to kill someone amongst them, Lia and the other circus-performers know they must do everything in their power to protect the vulnerable.
