This story begins in Rome at the outbreak of WWII, when ardent Nazi Herbert Kappler, SS Obersturmbanfuhrer, and Monsignor Hugh O'Flaherty would become adversaries in a real-life game of 'cat and mouse' of epic proportions. 'Hide & Seek' chronicles the intimate and intensely personal war between them.
