Suspected of espionage, a team of code-breakers accepts a dangerous mission to clear themselves and learn Hitler’s secret plans to defeat the D-Day invasion.
Documents declassified after WWII revealed America’s ability to intercept conversations between Adolph Hitler and Japan’s Ambassador to Germany. This is the story of a brilliant but naïve team of cryptographers in Army uniform, at a secret base in Virginia, who broke the coded intercepts. Off duty, they are welcomed by the last of an old Virginia family at their idyllic estate. The idyll crumbles as they learn the dark side of this aristocratic and racist culture that ignores the war in favor of horses and fox hunting.
A month before D-Day, Tokyo abruptly switches to a new code. The enemy has discovered our deepest secret. With the team under suspicion and excluded, intelligence agencies scramble to break the new code while Eisenhower waits anxiously: Only the Ambassador’s reports can tell him if Hitler knows the chosen site, if Nazi tanks are massed to massacre the assault troops as they land
Then the legendary spymaster, “Wild Bill” Donovan, takes a chance on the team--if they agree to a dangerous mission. Will they give their lives to save the lives of thousands on the Normandy beaches? Even if they return, the question remains: Who is leaking intelligence to the enemy?
