Two sisters discover a menorah on display in a New York City museum seventy years after it was stolen from their mother by the Nazis in war-torn Poland. They chase it through history and family trauma, with the FBI hot on their tails, and a growing pile of bodies filling their path.

This action thriller, written by Nick Gambino & Koura Linda, is based on the novel Nine Tenths of The Law by Claudia Hagadus Long, which depicts her own mother's true story of surviving the Holocaust, the stolen menorah, and reappearance in a Jewish Studies Museum when Claudia was a young woman.

The Nine Tenths Of The Law novel was also adapted into a 1950’s radio show styled podcast and can be listened to here.
