  • Engagée dans la Résistance française,Louise s'enfuit à Londres après l'assassinat de son mari. Elle est recrutée par le SOE, un service secret de renseignement et de sabotage piloté par Churchill. Dans l'urgence, on lui confie sa première mission, l'exfiltration d'un agent britannique tombé aux mains des allemands alors qu'il préparait le débarquement sur les plages normandes. L'homme n'a pas encore parlé mais le temps presse. Louise doit d'abord constituer un commando de femmes spécialement choisies pour les besoins de l'opération. La mission commence bien mais se complique très vite. Cinq femmes, loin d'être des héroïnes, mais qui vont le devenir.
  • In May 1944, a group of French servicewomen and resistance fighters are enlisted into the British Special Operations Executive commando group under the command of Louise Desfontaines and her brother Pierre. Their mission, to rescue a British army geologist caught reconnoitring the beaches at Normandy, and to kill a German SS colonel, who is close to figuring out the imminent secret of D-Day. The story is inspired by the accomplishments of decorated SOE agent Lisé de Baissac.
