In World War II Italy, seventeen-year-old Pino Lella is thrust into the war when his home in Milan is destroyed by Allied bombs. He joins an underground railroad that helps Jews escape Italy, and meets beautiful widow Anna. His parents try to protect Lella by forcing him to enlist as a German soldier, but he soon finds himself working as the personal driver of General Hans Leyers, one of Adolf Hitler's most powerful commanders. Pino realizes the opportunity to spy for the Allies and courageously endures the horrors of war to secretly fight for a future with Anna.
