Paris, 1944. Stepping under the dim glow of the streetlamp, Jewish orphan Josette tightens her coat and adjusts her leather satchel. The German soldiers who patrol the streets see neat plaits and shined shoes, but she is no schoolgirl. For months, she has been slipping unnoticed past the enemy, carrying important messages for the Resistance inside hollowed-out textbooks. The man she loves, Paul, is waiting for her, desperate for the secret documents she's carrying. Brave and devoted, he leads their Resistance group. But everything changes when Josette hears terrible news. Paul's beloved little sister, Suzanne, has been captured by the Nazis and accused of treason. Fear gripping her, Josette knows that if she and Paul can find a way into the prison by morning, they might be able to save her – but it may cost them everything. Can Josette and Paul rescue Suzanne before it's too late? Or will they have to sacrifice everything to force their enemies to set her free?
