Paris 1940. The civilised, upper-class life of film producer Jean Casson ends wi
th the German occupation of the city. Out of money and almost out of luck, Casso
n attempts to work with a German film company but finds himself drawn into the d
ark world of espionage and double agents.
More used to evading jealous husban
ds than the secret police, Casson beomes a reluctant spy, torn between honour, p
atriotism, love and survival.
