It's 1940. Time is running out as Hitler's panzers race to trap and destroy the British Expeditionary Force in France. In a desperate bid to avoid the impending catastrophe, Winston Churchill sends to Germany a "blind asset," a young American playboy named Paul Taylor Stoddart, on a desperate, high-risk mission to deceive the Nazis and save his battered army from total destruction. If Stoddart fails, Churchill will be disgraced, driven from office and possibly tried as a traitor.
