A dangerous and often fatal pursuit, collecting pieces of bombs is
a prime activity for boys in London during WWII in the early 1940s.
Young Tom Sloan is no exception. While investigating one ravaged
building, he finds more than he expects-an injured German pilot,
Hauptman Heinrich Leuzinger, who had ejected from his plane.
Leuzinger begs Tom not to turn him in to authorities, but rather to
help him see his wife and children again. Tom understands this is a
dangerous dilemma for which there could be serious consequences.
More than a thousand miles away in the North African desert, the
boy's father, Major Bernie Sloan, a British officer and the
commandant of a German and Italian POW camp, meets captured German
Colonel Hans Dieter Reichmann who tells an unbelievable story.
Sloan, a Jewish man, harbors a deep hatred for Germany and its
people. Sloan finds it difficult to believe that Reichmann may have
actually saved a Jewish family by smuggling them out of Germany.
Both father and son are about to discover that in war, as in life,
things are not always as they appear, and people can't always be
judged by the uniforms they wear. Or can they?
