简介：In 1940, Varian Frye went to Marseille with $3000 and a list of endangered artists and writers, hoping to help escape within a few weeks.

Many of his clients include Hannah Arendt, Max Ernst, Marcel Duchamp and Marc Chagall. Running against time to save them is a story about forbidden love, high-risk adventure and unimaginable courage.
