Synopsis

[edit]

Cora Menessier is sentenced to death by the Resistance in 1944 for an alleged betrayal. After her execution she is left for dead, but is recovered by the Germans who brainwash her and plan to use her as a counter-agent. They release her to target a Resistance operation designed to blow up a train carrying V1s to be used to bombard London and the English coast.
