Johann Brandt continues to hide from his brother as the Nazi occupation of Warsaw continues. As the ghetto wall is erected and the Jews are segregated, Johann makes the ultimate sacrifice in an attempt to save them: he joins them in the ghetto.
Elsewhere, amongst the muck and the poverty, Oliver Rosen is drawn to a flame in the darkness. Zaneta Krawczak is a young prostitute Oliver takes into the resistance. Romance soon blossoms between them and Oliver becomes smitten. But is Zaneta who she seems and could she be what finally causes the resistance to collapse into the dark tides swirling around it?
