On opposite sides of the pond, Sonia Butt, an adventurous young British woman, and Guy d''Artois, a French-Canadian soldier and thunderstorm of a man, are preparing to go to war. From different worlds, they make their way to fight in Winston Churchill''s secret army against the German forces and, unlike most involved in the world''s deadliest conflict to date, to fight from behind enemy lines.
