Description:
In May 1944, a group of French servicewomen and resistance fighters are enlisted into the British Special Operations Executive commando group under the command of Louise Desfontaines and her brother Pierre.

The story is inspired by the accomplishments of decorated SOE agent Lisé de Baissac.
