Plot SummaryThe year is 1939, and Anne, a budding actress, lives a life of advantage as a member of the appreciated Keyes household. Her dad, Sir Alexander Keyes, is a Member of Parliament, and her family is heavily involved in political circles.

As the possible implications start to string together, Anne ends up being progressively knotted in a web of suspicion and fear. She discovers that her family is involved in boosting a campaign to protect peace, even at the expense of potential nationwide betrayal. These appeasers intend to prevent a direct dispute with Nazi Germany at all expenses, efficiently manipulating public opinion and parliamentary democracy.
