1939 - As the clouds of war gather across Europe, senior diplomat
Gabriel Ford is sent to London to outline the Irish government's
intended policy of neutrality. While there, Gabriel, recently
engaged and the son of a War of Independence hero, has his life
thrown into turmoil when he meets a beautiful, mysterious woman,
Karina Harper. Karina watched as a child as her magnificent home in
Ireland was burned down by rebels and her family were driven out of
the country. Now a secretary at the British Foreign Office she is
using all her contacts as she desperately tries to rescue the man
she loves from Nazi Germany. As war erupts and Karina is posted to
Dublin, Gabriel risks everything for a scandalous affair with her.
But, unknown to him, his own and Karina's families are linked by a
terrible crime committed during Ireland's fight for independence.
Gabriel and Karina become engaged. But is she all she seems? Is she
using Gabriel's diplomatic status to rescue her true love trapped
in wartime Germany? Is she pursuing Gabriel and his family for
revenge for the crime committed by them in the past? Or does she in
fact love him? As a Nazi victory in Europe looks imminent, Gabriel
is being sent to Berlin by De Valera to try and avert a feared
invasion of Ireland. Karina uses the opportunity to accompany him,
to try find her old love. But as she and Gabriel board a plane for
Berlin, Karina is hiding one more secret. And if discovered, this
secret will ensure neither ever return.
