Meet Otto: falsely accused of being a Nazi spy, interned in a prison camp in England... with Germans. Born in Germany but raised in the little village of Bridley, England. Bullied at school because of his German parents and accent, he resents everything German. All he wanted was to fit in.
Meet Nancy: struggling to make the best of life in the nearby village of Bridley as the fiancée of an imprisoned spy (he's been judged and found guilty), she endures daily insults, subtle and not so subtle. Hard working and loyal, yet faced with deep prejudice, even hatred from locals who once called her friend.
Otto must learn to survive. Camp life is harsh and often brutal. He's not accepted by the Germans because they consider him English, and the British guards, led by a sadistic Welsh sergeant, resent him because they regard him as a traitor.
He discovers a sinister terrorist plot by fellow inmates to escape and attack a target in London - which will have a devastating impact on British morale and could even change course of the war.
What can Otto do? Because he is stuck in No Man's Land...
