A tense wartime thriller built on suspicion and unreliable testimony, where escape from physical captivity gives way to interrogation and the question of whom to trust.

After escaping a Nazi POW camp, a young Scottish RAF gunner recounts his perilous journey through occupied France with the help of the Resistance. During his debriefing in London, French intelligence officers press him for details—especially about one companion whose true loyalties may not be what they seemed.
