Ada Worthington-Fox has remade herself as Hollywood's rising star by 1946, burying her past as a Dutch resistance fighter who survived Gestapo imprisonment in war-torn Arnhem. When her sister Ingrid appears at her door, Ada discovers the sister she thought dead has become a private investigator sent from Washington to expose communist influences in Hollywood. Ingrid's target is Ada herself. As Ingrid secretly protects Ada from reporters and mounting threats, Ada pursues her own mission to track down the Gestapo agent who terrorized her hometown. She believes Ingrid's Washington connections might help her find justice. Neither sister realizes how their separate hunts connect, or that both carry a shared secret that could destroy them. With the Red Scare intensifying around them, the sisters must choose between the safety of their new lives and the justice they seek.
