Strong willed and independent, young Lea Kaplan rejects the life that her family plans for her. She travels alone to Bialystok, Poland to join an upstart Kibbutz. There, she meets ruggedly handsome Izak Kuncewicki. They marry and welcome a baby son Ephraim. Life seems full of promise.
In 1937 everything changes. As Hitler’s plan for a master race develops, Izak joins the resistance.
Separated by war, Lea and her young son escape death time and again, surviving as best they can.
Izak leads soldiers in battle. Captured, he spends four years in a Siberian death camp.
As the Holocaust sweeps across Europe, both husband and wife begin to despair of ever seeing one another again.
Re-united after the war by an almost unbelievable twist of fate, Lea and Izak pray to have a new life in Israel. When the borders to their ancestral homeland close, Izak once again joins the underground, smuggling immigrants to Jerusalem.
Will Lea and Izak ever reach the Promised Land?
