A dramatic story of WWII espionage, betrayal, and
loyalty. In 1940, eighteen-year old Juliet Armstrong is
reluctantly recruited into the world of espionage. Sent to an
obscure department of MI5 tasked with monitoring the comings and
goings of British Fascist sympathizers, she discovers the work
to be by turns both tedious and terrifying. But after the war
has ended, she presumes the events of those years have been
relegated to the past forever. Ten years later, now a radio
producer at the BBC, Juliet is unexpectedly confronted by
figures from her past. A different war is being fought now, on a
different battleground, but Juliet finds herself once more under
threat. A bill of reckoning is due, and she finally begins to
realize that there is no action without consequence.
