He can't erase what he's seen and can't focus on anything else, not even the upcoming opportunity of a lifetime to try out for an elite soccer team. Liam believes there is more to the girl's story than her &#34;accidental death&#34; and decides to investigate.<p><span>When Liam visits his grandfather, living in palliative care, things go from bad to worse. As they watch Germany's 2014 World Cup soccer games together, his grandfather, a German World War II veteran, reveals stories about his past &#8212; stories a Jewish Canadian kid doesn't want to hear. Angry and overwhelmed, Liam is swept up in a history that may just help him solve the girl's death &#8212; and make sense of his own world again.</span></p>Twelve-year-old Liam finds a dead body along the shore at his grandfather's cottage.
