Description

As war engulfs Europe, 1500 passengers embark on a perilous journey aboard the luxury liner SS Manhattan. Among them are cousins Masha and Rachel Morgenstern, fleeing concentration camps in search of a safer future in America. The ship's diverse passenger list includes composer Igor Stravinsky, making a new start after years of tragedy, and Rose Kennedy, determined to protect her children from harm. However, their hopes for a better life are complicated by the presence of young Thomas, a Nazi with a secret, and Rosemary, a vivacious but troubled woman whose love for a Californian musician may disrupt her family's plans. As the Atlantic crossing unfolds, the SS Manhattan faces a grave threat from a German U-boat. Will any of its passengers achieve their dream of a new life in America?
