February 1944. Six months since Nazi forces occupied Rome. Inside the beleaguered city the
Contessa Giovanna Landini is a member of the band of Escape Line activists known as 'The
Choir'. Their mission is to smuggle refugees to safety and help Allied soldiers all under the
nose of Gestapo boss Paul Hauptmann. During a ferocious morning air raid a mysterious
parachutist lands in Rome and disappears into the backstreets. Is he an ally or an imposter?
His fate will come to put the whole Escape Line at risk. Meanwhile Hauptmann's attention has
landed on the Contessa. As his fascination grows she is pulled into a dangerous game with him
- one where the consequences could be lethal.
