Táto séria sleduje osudy mladej a odvážnej fotografky, ktorá sa ocitá v centre napínavých udalostí pred druhou svetovou vojnou. V čase vzostupu Adolfa Hitlera a narastajúceho napätia v Európe musí čeliť nebezpečným intrígám a politickým machináciám. Jej cesta ju zavedie od slnkom zaliateho pobrežia Talianska do turbulentného Berlína, kde sa zaplieta do medzinárodného sprisahania a odhaľuje rodinné tajomstvá. S každým krokom sa Elena učí, že v týchto neistých časoch nemožno nikomu veriť a musí sa spoliehať iba na vlastné inštinkty a odvahu.
