Two Families at War
Published: June 2018
Synopsis
As Nazi bombs rain down on London, two families are thrust into the heart of wartime chaos—one fleeing persecution, the other pursuing profit. A Jewish family, having narrowly escaped the horrors of Nazi Germany, arrives in England seeking safety and a new beginning. Meanwhile, a London family sees opportunity in the shadows of war, turning the chaos of the blackout into a cover for illicit gains.
As the Blitz intensifies and the city is engulfed in fire and fear, the lives of these two families intersect with devastating consequences. Set against the backdrop of the second Great Fire of London in December 1940, Two Families at War is a story of survival, morality, and the fragile line between good and evil in times of crisis.
