On opposite sides of the pond, Sonia Butt, an adventurous young British woman, and Guy d'Artois, a French-Canadian soldier, are preparing for war. Their lives first intersect during clandestine training to become agents with Winston Churchill's secret army. Reconstructed from unpublished interviews and hundreds of archival and personal documents, the story Nahlah Ayed tells is about the ravaging costs of war paid for disproportionately by the young. But more than anything, this is a story about love: two secret agents who were supposed to land in enemy territory together, but were fated to fight the war apart.
