Six days before D-Day, Victor Lawrence, one of the most senior planners of the Normandy landings, is shot down over France. Captured by the Nazis, he is detained in a holding camp under a false identity. The clock is ticking. When the Nazis discover who he really is, they will torture him and learn of the plan for the invasion of Europe. John Seabourne, a British special forces operative, is given the mission to parachute into France, hook up with local French resistance and bust Victor out. Seabourne and French resistance fighter, Ellie, break into the camp. But Victor refuses to be rescued, convinced he should lie low until the invasion is underway. Knowing a Nazi commander who will recognise Victor is due at the camp any day, Seaborne must kill Victor to ensure his knowledge won't get into enemy hands, unless he can find a way to pull off a dramatic rescue of Victor and all the other prisoners held in the camp. The stage is set for a showdown that will ultimately decide the outcome of WW2. The fate of millions will come down to the choices and actions of our three heroes in their darkest hour.
