A dark and suspenseful drama set in 1930s London. Maria Brentano and her younger sister Nora flee to London after their father is murdered by a European minister. Seven years later, during a weekend trip to Paris, Maria unexpectedly meets Louis, her former lover who is now plotting the assassination of the same minister. Maria and Nora become involved in the plan, which goes tragically wrong when the bomb they plant kills an innocent bystander. Facing the consequences of her actions and harboring dark secrets, Maria escapes and assumes a new identity, but later discovers that her sister is involved with Louis in a dangerous plot, and decides to boldly act in order to save her.
