Paris, 1940. The Nazis have descended on on Paris and the Occupation has begun. Businesses across the city have shuttered, but the legendary Ritz Hotel remains open. Though fewer Parisians venture outdoors and the German soldiers roam the streets, the siren call of the Ritz Bar still lures its remaining glamorous patrons with the promise of the perfect cocktail. And when it becomes the favorite spot of the occupying forces, its barman, Frank Maier, is forced to adapt to a new clientele. But Frank has a secret, he's Jewish.
