July 1940: A month after the evacuation of the defeated and
battered Allied forces from Dunkirk, a German invasion of England
threatens. In this thrilling historical "what-if," Prime Minister
Winston Churchill has resigned without naming a successor and
leaders of Parliament are calling for an armistice with Hitler.
Meanwhile, the Deputy Director of Counter-Espionage at MI5, Adam
Strachan, faces his own daunting task. During a botched burglary,
the fugitive Billy Houston commits murder and discovers his victim
was in possession of Britain's plans to thwart the German invasion.
No patriot, Houston is determined to get the information to the
right people and help bring about a Nazi-run Britain. Strachan soon
finds himself pursuing Houston through England, from London's
blacked-out streets and seedy narrow lanes to the thinly guarded
Channel coast and the Isle of Wight, in a desperate bid to stop the
missing defense plans from falling into German hands. The clock is
ticking, and Britain's immediate future is anything but secure.
