Nazi-occupied Holland, 1944. 17-year-old Noa is on the run. Cast out by her Jewish family for carrying a Nazi soldier's child, she has nowhere left to go. Everything changes when she discovers a boxcar containing Jewish infants headed for a concentration camp. Reminded of the child that was taken from her, she flees into the snowy night with a baby in her arms. Rescued by a German circus, she attempts to start anew - soaring high and free on a flying trapeze. But soon the bond she forges with lead aerialist, Astrid, begins to jeopardize the façades that protect them both. Will their friendship be strong enough to protect them from their secrets?
