In a world torn by hatred, hope becomes the greatest act of defiance as the lives of three men are forever connected through a series of unforeseen events. Hungry, rejected, and weighed down by responsibility, a young missionary, Elder Gordon, vows to trust God's hand in the foreign streets of Germany a year before the start of World War I. Violin shop owner, Joseph treasures his family's Munich shop, but Kristallnacht shatters more than glass. As tension erupts in the streets, Joseph battles fear and grief, yearning for the courage to protect others when silence feels safer. Newly turned eighteen-year-old Don wants nothing more than to join his friends in the fight against injustice. He enlists in the midst of World War II and finds himself fighting in the Pacific, protecting a people he knew nothing about. All three men must learn to rely on God to deliver them, who, in turn, helps them create a thread of faith and friendship woven in a time of turmoil.
