Los Alamos, 1943. The US Army has gathered scientists to create the first nuclear weapon. Their families, abruptly moved to the secret desert base with no explanation, have simple orders: Stand by. Make do. Above all, don't ask questions. Christine, forced to abandon her art restoration business in New York for her husband's career, struggles to reinvent herself. Gertie, the inquisitive teenage daughter of a German Jewish refugee, enlists Christine to help her unravel hidden truths. And Jimmy, a young army technician, falls for Gertie but is unsure if even her deep affection can overcome his agonizing self-doubt.
