In 1940, Juliet Armstrong, eighteen, is reluctantly drawn into the world of espionage when she is recruited to monitor British fascist sympathizers. This job in MI5 is sometimes tedious and sometimes terrifying, but at the end of the war, Juliet believes she will leave it behind. Ten years later, as a radio producer at the BBC, she unexpectedly faces figures from her past. A new war is being fought, and Juliet finds herself threatened again, realizing that every act has consequences.
