Synopsis: Jacob Horowitz is a man with an untold story-the tale of his former life of terror and persecution at the hands of the Nazis. It's a story that may never be known, because Jacob is dying. But when the Jewish business tycoon receives an invitation to visit Pierre, a friend and former member of the Belgian underground, Jacob decides he must return once again to the land of his nightmares-and take Isaac, his estranged son, with him. In this powerful, vivid, and fast-paced narrative set alternately in the trauma of his youth and his complex present, an aging and embittered Jacob must decide whether he will reconcile with his son, his past, his God, and himself.
