Three partisans, two men and a women, take an assignment in occupied northern France. Their objective: recover a satchel that went down in a small plane north of Reims. They were told the objective was important. They were not told what the satchel contained. They had no reason to believe their involvement would help shorten the war, or save countless lives, or cause them to have to leave France. They didn't know their lives would soon hang by a thread; or that, in the end, a lifetime of loneliness would be left behind.
