Paris in 1940. As the city adjusts to life under Nazi occupation, Detective Eddie Giral struggles to reconcile his job as a policeman with his new role enforcing a regime he cannot believe in but must work under.
He’s sacrificed so much in order to survive in this new world, but the past is not so easily forgotten.
When an old friend and an old flame reappear, begging for his help, Eddie must decide how far he will go to help those he loves.
He can remain a good man and do nothing. Or risk it all in a desperate act of resistance…
