1944. During the chaos of WWII, a powerful love story unfolds. Meet a courageous young combat medic, Staff Sergeant Edmund Kruszynski, whose dedication to saving lives takes him to the front lines of battle. He leads a platoon of brave medics onto the blood-soaked beaches of Normandy, across Europe, and into the heart of Nazi Germany. Amid the horrors of the Holocaust, he finds love in the most unexpected place: Buchenwald.

Ed survives, saving lives while bearing the weight of seeing close friends perish. He returns home adorned with medals, yet a relentless battle rages within.

Stateside, Mary works tirelessly supporting the war effort, finding strength in her love for Ed. But when an invisible war endangers her life and threatens their once unbreakable bond, she delivers an ultimatum. Ed must face his demons while Mary vows to protect their secrets at all costs.

She nearly succeeds...
