During the beginning of World War II, two friends prove their
loyalty to each other. They are Julie and Maddie, one a British spy and the
other a pilot. Julie is captured in enemy territory and about to live a spy’s
worst nightmare. Julie is held prisoner in an Ormaie, France hotel where she is
forced by the S.S. to give up information. But little do they know that she has
given them lies within her story and Maddie’s friendship. Meanwhile, Maddie has
managed to stay alive in France and is plotting with resistance members to free
Julie and other prisoners. But before being executed, Julie is able to get a
message to Maddie. Maddie in return makes a stunning sacrifice to spare her
friend a torturing execution.
