Returning to the island of Jersey for his mother's funeral, Hugh Laverne is reminded of the Nazi occupation and what it meant for those living through it. By association, he feels prompted to revisit wartime friends in Brittany in Northern France.
Reunited with former Resistance members, he learns that Louise, his friends' adopted niece, was captured and killed by the Gestapo shortly after his departure for Britain. The news is all the more devastating when he hears that she was pregnant at the time of her capture, and the knowledge now haunts him, blighting his relationships even seven years later.

The news is all the more devastating when he hears that she was pregnant at the time of her capture, and the knowledge now haunts him, blighting his relationships even seven years later.
When he hears of the untimely death of his erstwhile first lieutenant and protégé Neil Godfrey, he fears that nothing but bad news will ever emerge from his fateful year of covert operations. However, his attendance at Neil's funeral results in an unexpected meeting.
