1945. Finally, there is peace in Europe. In Switzerland too, a whole generation breathes a sigh of relief as it faces a new and hopeful future. Peacetime, although long awaited and promising, also holds unforeseen challenges.

1945. War is over. Switzerland, the neutral small country at the heart of Europe, was all but spared: Klara, her fiancé Johann and his brother Egon are looking bright-eyed into the future. While Klara tries to mend the wounds of the war by caring for young, displaced holocaust survivors, Johann, who works for her industrialist father, hopes to save and modernize his father-in-law's well-established, yet troubled textile company. Just home from military service, Egon takes his first steps in the Attorney General's office. His mission: to hunt down escaped Nazis. All three of them soon realize that the facade of peace is bought with the blood of the victims of war. Johann's professional ambitions bring him closer to those who committed unspeakable war crimes. Klara risks her marriage while growing ever closer to Herschel, one of the survivors, who are all met with distrust by the locals. And Egon finds himself caught in a system that willingly turns a blind eye towards Nazi criminals for the sake of profit.

Set in 1945 Switzerland, we follow brothers Johann and Egon after their very different war-time experiences. Johann, who avoided military service, is keen to take over the successful textile business of his fiancée Klara's father; Klara is caring for displaced young Holocaust survivors. Egon has returned from service and in a new law enforcement role, is tasked with hunting down escaped Nazis. As we follow the family in the freshness of peace, the war lingers over them: Johann's ambition brings him into contact with those who committed war crimes, Egon is caught in a system that turns a blind eye to Nazi criminals for the sake of profit and Klara's relationship is put at risk as she grows closer to Herschel, a survivor.
