September 1939. As Germany invades Poland, Viktor Nowak is forced to flee his home with his wife and children, crossing a countryside where neighbour turns against neighbour and survival depends on silence and trust.
At the same time, a small team of British soldiers is sent on a covert mission deep behind enemy lines. Cut off and hunted, they must navigate an occupied land where discovery means death.
As war tightens its grip, civilian and soldier alike are drawn into a collision of fate, loyalty, and survival.
