She's done running. Now she fights.
1942. With the war raging in Europe, Adèle Ambeh dreams of a France
that is free from the clutches of the Nazis. As the date of her marriage
to a ruthless man draws closer, she only has one choice: she must run.
Adèle flees to Lyon and seeks refuge at the Sisters of Notre Dame de la
Compassion. From the outside this is a simple nunnery, but the sisters
are secretly aiding the French Resistance, hiding and supplying the
fighters with weapons. Adèle quickly finds herself part of the efforts
to take down the regime.
As each day fills with a different danger and she begins to fall for
another man, Adèle's entire world could come crashing down around her.
She must fight for her family, her country - and her own destiny.
