A game of cat and mouse in which the cost of losing is death.
Eighteen-year-old Colette's peaceful life in France is shattered when the Nazi panzers steam-roll across her country. As her world crumbles around her, Colette escapes to England and is thrust into the dangerous world of espionage.
She undergoes intensive training to become a radio operator in France, a perilous role and one for which her superiors - and Colette herself - doubt her aptitude. It seems impossible that she will ever receive her first mission, until one moonlit night she's infiltrated into France.
During her mission, Colette overcomes her fears and self-doubts and her work saves countless lives. However, as D-Day approaches, she is given a new mission in France, where her worst fears are realised. She is captured.
In the hands of the enemy, Colette faces the ultimate test of her training and courage.
A gripping tale of bravery and self-sacrifice.
