Adam, a divorced, Jewish father originally from Chicago, embarks on a journey to fulfill a promise to his only daughter never to abandon her. Living in a small, German town steeped in the shadows of Antisemitism and Nazi history, Adam attempts to open a Jewish deli, to establish a link to his upbringing and try to find comfort and connection in his town.

As Adam struggles with his new life, a painful rift with his estranged father, a man who abandoned Adam and his family decades ago, grinds at his soul. Driven to break the patterns of abandonment and heal the wounds of his past, Adam embarks on a mission to reconcile with his family.

His quest takes him around the globe from Germany, to Chicago, to the doorsteps of his father on Cape Cod, a man he has not been close to for forty years. In this life-changing journey, Adam grapples with the ghosts of his past, searching for the strength to forgive and move forward, in order to be the best father he can be, to his little girl.

Against the odds, the deli takes shape as Adam discovers the resilience of the human spirit and the power of forgiveness to heal even the deepest wounds.
