World War II left countless lives shattered—including those who worked in the shadows to uncover dangerous secrets.
     It’s 1952. Nora Swan survived a car accident that killed her husband, Richard, but was left blind.
Now Richard’s friend Dempsey reveals the shocking truth: Richard was secretly working for the OSS, his “accident” was actually murder,
and Nora may still be a target. Even more disturbing, the murderer may be one of her closest friends.

As Nora and Dempsey work together to uncover the truth, long-hidden secrets begin to emerge. 
Mystery, intrigue, betrayal and revenge make this an exciting opportunity for actors who enjoy a dramatic thriller.
