This is an enthralling tale of a legendary Hollywood screen goddess with a dark secret about her life in the Warsaw Ghetto. When the famous actress is threatened by someone from her past, she put her skills into play to protect herself, her illustrious career, and those she loves, then and now.  

Los Angeles, 2005. Sienna wants to direct a picture about a legendary actress Lena Browning.  But before she became a legend, Lena Browning was Bina Blonski, a Polish Jew whose life and family were destroyed by the Nazis. 

Warsaw, 1943. A member of the city’s Jewish elite, Bina Blonski and her husband, Jakub, are imprisoned in the ghastly, cramped ghetto along with the rest of Warsaw’s surviving Jews. The Aryan-looking Bina becomes a spy, gaining information and stealing weapons outside the ghetto to protect her fellow Jews.

Over a decade after escaping the horrors of the ghetto, Bina, now known as Lena, still hungers for revenge against the Nazis who escaped justice after the war. Her power and fame as a movie star offer her the chance to right the past’s wrongs.
