1952. It's been over a decade since American Sofie Anderson and Frenchwoman Arlette LaRue were imprisoned at the Ravensbrück concentration camp. Now thirty and supposedly working for the U.S. Army, Sofie nurtures an undying ember of anger in her heart. Arlette is trying to make ends meet in Paris. She's exhausted all her finances to find her stolen son. Then, the charming Luc Bouchard arrives in her cafe. He invites her to their compound in French Guiana with the promised hope she might find Willie at the orphanage. Soon, she has to rely on her old techniques as a spy to uncover a deep deception that hits close to home. In the meantime, Sofie's quest for Dr. Snow leads her from Strasbourg to the Vatican to Brazil, and finally back to Arlette in French Guiana, where the two discover that their lives, and the ones they love, are in grave danger.
