Two teens plunge into an adventure involving a stolen painting, Nazi smugglers, gangsters and a murderous plot. Set during the Golden Age of Hollywood and inspired by real-life Nazi intrigues that wracked 1930s America, the boys – one Jewish and one gay, in a world that is hostile to both – wrestle with questions of family, maturity, identity and friendship as they delve into perilous secrets – those that must be uncovered and those that must be kept.
