In 1943 Warsaw, young Samuel Cohen survives the annihilation of the Jewish ghetto after his mother, Miriam, sacrifices herself in a grenade blast to resist Nazi officer Friedrich Vogel. Her defiance allows Samuel to flee through tunnels to freedom, haunted by loss but carrying her legacy of survival.

On the 13^th of June 1944, just one week following the successful invasion of the Normandy beach landings, the Third Reich unleashes the first of their terrifying Vengeance weapons. The V1 flying a bomb.
