Op die noodlottige avond wordt Anton's hele familie, inclusief zijn ouders en broer, onder vaagse omstandigheden door de Duitse bezetters van Nederland vanaf hun huis weggevoerd. Anton blijft alleen achter en wordt geconfronteerd met de nasleep van de aanslag.

In de daaropvolgende jaren wordt het leven van Anton beïnvloed door schuldgevoelens en de zoektocht naar gerechtigheid. Hij komt in contact met verschillende mensen die direct of indirect betrokken zijn bij de aanslag, zoals Fake Ploeg, Cor Takes en Karin Korteweg. Elk van deze ontmoetingen werpt nieuw licht op de gebeurtenissen en Anton's perceptie van de waarheid verandert keer op keer.

Het boek verkent belangrijke thema's zoals schuld, verantwoordelijkheid en de impact van de oorlog op individuen en de samenleving als geheel.
