BRAVERY, COURAGE, SURVIVAL - A wireless operator's life expectancy in occupied France is six weeks.
In 1944 a courageous special agent is dropped by parachute behind enemy lines into the hands of the local Resistance group. Emily Boucher is working as part of Winston Churchill's clandestine organisation The Special Operations Executive in Nazi-occupied Normandy. She becomes the radio operator for the local Resistance group - the clock ticks down as she tries to avoid the local Gestapo and the treacherous Milice. Her mission is to report on enemy movements, re-arm the Resistance group, and organize sabotage in the days before D-Day.
In the build-up to the 'Day of Liberation,' Emily is the hesitant heroine who risks her life to save the country she loves and the people she comes to regard as her family, including their charismatic leader, Robert. She desperately tries to stay one step ahead of the enemy, while trying to save the lives of those she loves. As she overcomes the obstacles that stand in her way of achieving her mission - some of the group begins to believe in her as she develops her skills as an agent. But there's a traitor in the group, will she find out who it is before it's too late?
