History has a tendency to efface from our memories as soon as we lose curiosity in them. In this sense, it is important for us to explore and tell others of our findings. Such is the case for Rodney Downe, who finds himself in a complicated predicament when he opens an empty photo album at his part-time job at a bookstore. He shifts into the bodies of detainees held up in a concentration camp in Terezin, Czechoslovakia during the 1940s. And consequently, he finds himself in the midst of death and confusion to lose trust in humanity.
The only way he is able to get out to the modern era is to die in the concentration camps, yet there is a he must complete the entire series of photo albums in 10 days, or else he will die. He needs to travel three times, in the form of a child, middle-aged man, and finally a Brundibar child performer. But will he conjure up enough will power to complete the series? Will he be able to finish the missing pictures?
