En Marsella, 1940, Varian Fry, un periodista y editor educado en Harvard, llega a Francia. Reconociendo la oscuridad que se cierne sobre Europa, él y un grupo de neoyorquinos con ideas afines formaron el Comité de Rescate de Emergencia, ayudando a artistas y escritores a escapar de los nazis e inmigrar a los Estados Unidos. En medio del caos de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, y desafiando las restrictivas políticas de inmigración de Estados Unidos, Fry debe procurar pasaportes falsos, asegurar visas, buscar rutas de escape a través de los Pirineos y por mar, y tomar decisiones imposibles sobre quién debe ser salvado, todo bajo una profunda presión y en un estado de cambio personal irrevocable. Esta deslumbrante obra de ficción histórica ilumina elementos inexplorados de la historia de Fry y nos brinda una nueva perspectiva de su vida.
