The storylines follows Frank Strasser, radio operator onboard U-612, and his sister Simone Strasser, who works as a translator for the Kriegsmarine in La Rochelle and comes in contact with the French resistance. Here she struggles between sympathy for the Resistance and loyalty to her fatherland. A forbidden love also may bring danger…
