Jonnie, a former soldier and Monique, a former nurse live together in Northern France in 1943. They live very remotely and are very much in love. They do live under a shadow though. They are scared that the British will activate Jonnie for a mission and they are scared the Germans will find them as Monique is Jewish. Their worst nightmares are realised when a combination of the two force them to separate and Jonnie accepts a dangerous mission. Will he succeed? Will they see each other again?
