Rose Justice is a young American pilot with Britain's Air Transport Auxiliary during the Second World War. On her way back from a routine flight in the waning days of the war, Rose is captured by the Germans and sent to Ravensbruck, the notorious women's concentration camp.

As these damaged women bond together to help each other survive, Rose works to make sense of all she's seen, transforming herself into a survivor driven by her promise to tell her fellow prisoners' stories to the world.
