But the city is riddled with betrayal. The Vichy police are hunting shadows, the Gestapo move freely through the streets, and the wrong word at a checkpoint can end everything. When Jessie is arrested and her cover begins to fray, she must rely on courage, cunning and the few friends she has left. As the crisis deepens, Jessie faces a harrowing choice: save the mission, or save herself.
