Ichabod Jacobe is a young Jewish boy in the midst of the Holocaust. Taken from his home and pushed into a concentration camp, he lies about his age and is treated like an eighteen year old prisoner. He's afraid of the entire world around him and is horrified of the knowledge that his every action could see him killed.That is until Matias Oberon, the second in command of the camp, picks him out of the roll call and takes him to his home where he's asked to do sexual favors. Having grown up being told this way of life was wrong, he's wary of the imposing SS Commando.But as he learns more about Matias and sees the man isn't going to hurt him, but actually wants to help him, he opens up. Soon, with the wisdom of Matias, he starts seeing the world in a different view than the black and white he's used to. He sees that there are shades of gray when it comes to right and wrong, good and evil.This is about that journey and finding the ability to have hope when all you know is sadness and death.
