Turkey has long been a safe haven for Jews, marriage between a high-ranking Muslim girl and a Jewish boy is strictly forbidden. But Selva and Rafael defy their parents and marry, fleeing to Paris in hopes of a better life, only to find themselves trapped in the path of the invading Nazis. A handful of courageous Turkish diplomats, protected only by the tenuous neutrality of their homeland, hatch a daring plot to spirit the exiled lovers and hundreds of innocent Jews to safety.
