Ethan Jones left Mississippi and came to France long before the war started. A black man in the South could manage a relatively comfortable existence-in France he could live. He loved Paris-the lively cafs, the easy friendships with the artists and writers and whores. Those he trusted eventually learned he was gay. When the Germans invaded France, everything changed. Two years after he joined the Resistance, Ethan took an assignment in occupied northern France. The objective: Team up with another partisan, Adrienne Follett, and recover a satchel that went down in a single engine plane just north of Reims. Along the way they meet up with Jhan, a German defector that eventually wins their trust. After convincing them he hates the Nazis, Jhan is allowed to join the team. It's only then he decides to reveal the lifelong secret that's haunted him since his earliest years. They were told the objective was important. They were not told what the satchel contained. They had no reason to believe their involvement would help shorten the war, or save countless lives or cause them to have to leave France. They didn't know that their lives would soon hang by a thread; or that, in the end, a lifetime of loneliness would be left behind.
