A tense historical thriller about a teacher's desperate attempt to expose a Nazi infiltration plot in pre-war Britain, caught between moral clarity and institutional distrust.

Summer 1939. Influential families in Nazi Germany have sent their daughters to a finishing school in an English seaside town to learn the language and be ambassadors for a future looking National Socialist. A teacher there sees what is coming and is trying to raise the alarm. But the authorities believe he is the problem.
