It is 1943 in Tuscany, and Daniel Gideon, noted physician and
international pacifist, kisses his wife Paola goodbye and heads off
for his day in wartime Italy.
On his way home, Gideon is intercepted by antifascist partisans
and spared the fate that has befallen Paola and the rest of his
family. The tragic events have been instigated by a bitter
betrayal, and he must unwillingly live on the run with the
partisans who saved him. Pacifist Gideon struggles as his deepest
convictions are challenged, and as he pieces together the events
that led to his family's tragedy, he must grapple with grief, rage,
and a desire for revenge. After his death many years later,
Gideon's story is discovered in a box of papers uncovered in a
basement in Italy, and his estranged daughter Victoria is invited
to Italy to attend a ceremony in Gideon's honor. During her stay,
Victoria reads the papers and uncovers astonishing revelations
about Gideon, her place in his heart and the betrayals to which he
and Paola fell victim. And she is forced to contend with those who
want a different version of history to prevail.
By the end of her soul-searching journey, Victoria must decide
whether she can honor her father's principles and legacy and still
be true to herself.
