Teenager Annie and her young brother Rob receive a phone call from their mother instructing them to leave their home in the middle of the night with an important letter. The two arrive at the bus terminal at 2 AM and leave for the home of a family friend at their mother's urging; meanwhile, newspaper headlines regarding Annie and Rob's father and his alleged communist ties begin to circulate. The children's embarking leads them on an odyssey to uncover the truth.
