"Welcome to the Brennenbach of Midnight! The Curse Hours have begun."
West Germany, 1968
When ten-year-old David Saidel's parents are murdered by Neo-Nazis, he is sent to live with his grandfather in the anti-Semitic village of Brennenbach. David, miserable and lonely, finds solace in his kindly Grandpa Ernst, who has one strict rule: never go out after midnight.
One night, when David breaks curfew to search for his missing dog, he discovers why Ernst is so serious about his curfew: Brennenbach is cursed. When midnight strikes, the town is thrown back to 1943, the height of Hitler's reign.
During the Curse Hours, the Nazi ghosts that infest Brennebach are just as dangerous as they were in life. They're hunting for David because they think David is the last remaining member of the Kogan family. Whatever happened to the Kogan's caused the Curse, and David and his grandfather won't be safe until he finds a way to end it.
Through the help of a little girl named Maria Rahm, the daughter of a vicious Nazi Lieutenant, he sets out to uncover the truth behind the Kogan's. Can he end the Curse that plagues the town of Brennenbach before it claims another victim?
