Description
In 1939, Paris was a city of love and deception. For Hollywood actress Drue Leyton, married to Frenchman Jacques Tartière, life as an expatriate seemed idyllic. But when her husband is dispatched to Brittany, Drue finds herself alone in the city she has grown to adore. As the Nazis encroach on France, Drue accepts a role that will change her life forever: broadcasting radio programs to the United States. With the help of seasoned journalist Dorothy Thompson and political operative Jean Fraysse, Drue's duty is to shake America from its apathy and push for resistance against the enemy. But as she becomes more embroiled in the fight, Drue faces danger at every turn. With Hitler's warning that her adopted country will be conquered if she doesn't comply, Drue must decide where her loyalties lie - with her adopted city, her husband, or the cause of resistance.
