Hannah thinks tonight's Passover Seder will be the same as always. Little does she know that she will be mysteriously transported into the past to a Jewish village in Nazi-Occupied Poland. She assumes the life of Chaya in 1942. Shortly, the Nazis take Chaya and her neighbors off to a concentration camp. Slowly, Hannah's own memory of her past fades until she is Chaya completely as she copes with her circumstances and makes friends with Rifka. In an act of self-sacrifice, she volunteers to go to the gas chamber in place of Rifka, but as the door closes, she is returned to her grandmother’s home.
