Mateo Albero is a gunner on a B-24 shot down deep in Nazi territory. He parachutes free, but snags on a high limb. Far below, a German is too intent on his pursuit of a young woman to notice. Mateo could remain silent and unseen, but when the ambush happens he cuts himself down and runs to save her.
Her name is Anna...
From the skies of Germany to the brutal gridiron of 1940's professional football, Mateo holds true to his heart as the world burns around him. Greed and betrayal cast his own blood as the enemy. History rises to haunt his dreams. Through it all, his love survives. But is it enough?
