Thirteen‑year‑old Lisa, who speaks no English, carries only a cherished photograph of her German family as she departs Nazi Germany on the Kindertransport. She reaches England in August 1939, is adopted, and attempts to rebuild her life. The Blitz radically disrupts her new home and the sense of security she had begun to find. One morning, she awakens in a hospital with no memory of the prior months; authorities assign her a new name and send her to a children's home, leaving her identity and past in question.
