New York, 1938. Giddy Brodsky knows she's lucky to have a job as a cigarette girl at a Manhattan jazz club, but she dreams of opening her own beauty shop and lifting her family out of poverty. While focused on the future, the past comes flooding back when she recognizes one of the Cossacks who irrevocably changed her life. Determined to get justice, she enlists the help of Carter van der Zalm, the director of the Department of Immigration at Ellis Island. Not everyone is who they appear to be - and Giddy finds herself embroiled in a political conspiracy that could bring America into the war in Europe.
