1942. France is under Nazi control. The Allies have been pushed off the continent and their defeat in North Africa seems likely. Germany's victory is nearly absolute. Under this dark shadow, a man named Jacques (
Cary Elwes) uses a radio to broadcast a message of hope. He hides in an attic with his daughter Juliet (
Greer Grammer) and a small group of fellow survivors husband and wife (
Judd Hirsch,
Mira Furlan), playing a deadly game of cat and mouse with the German occupiers. The world becomes too dangerous when the Gestapo send Captain Klaus Jager (
Sebastian Roché) to catch Jacques. As Klaus closes in, Jacques and his small group make a desperate bid to escape their pursuer, trusting themselves to the help of enigmatic Andre (
Jason Patric), a Swiss banker. In the end, that trust may turn out to be the very thing that leads the hunter to his prey.
