Navy blimps patrol no-longer-tranquil fishing grounds. Torpedoed tankers ignite nighttime skies. Based on actual events. In the Louisiana village of Cut Off, Camille Picou struggles to raise her two children. Already considered an outcast for long-ago crimes she did not commit, her troubles are worsened by the handsome Coast Guard ensign determined to ferret out saboteurs, the meddlesome rogue of a village priest, and the mysterious refugee Doctor Lenz, hiding from his past, whose secrets will change her life. Another tanker is torpedoed. Drums of fuel come up missing. Rumors fly that someone is helping the enemy. As paranoia grows to fever pitch, Camille and Lenz must battle not only the authorities and their neighbors, but also the terror locked in each other's heart. -- © Overseas Filmgroup [More]
