1942 in Germany. When the Nazis take control of his school, Franciscan friar Anton Starzmann loses his position in the world. To marry Elisabeth Herter, a widow looking for a marriage—in name only—to a guy who can assist in raising her three children, he moves to a little German village. Anton also wants retribution for not shielding his young classmates from the Nazis' fury. However, neither he nor Elisabeth anticipate that the unavoidable rumbling of war would rock their lives once again.
While Anton finds it difficult to adjust to his new duties as a husband and father, he finds out about the Red Orchestra, a covert resistance group that is preparing to kill Hitler. Elisabeth is hesitant, but Anton enlists in this army of shadows. However, Anton will carry out a last act of resistance that can endanger his life when the SS finds out about his plans—even if it means bidding farewell to the family he has grown to love more than he ever thought imaginable.
