Brief Description:
In WWII Occupied France, a resistance family is visited by two American GIs. A plan is in motion to return them safely to England. But as the family endures the horrors of war, the eldest daughter, Linette, can no longer bear the loss and fragmentation of her family and becomes desperate to restore her peaceful life.
While the younger daughter, Andie, discovers her own way of dealing with grief, Linette is forced into an unfamiliar role. With the Nazis in fast pursuit, the safe return of the GIs is in jeopardy. Fear takes its toll as Linette becomes increasingly desperate.
