American broadcaster and journalist Nancy Campbell is addicted to war. She can’t stay away. It isn’t just the adrenalin, but the puzzle of war - the puzzle of human nature – she craves.
Nancy, in Warsaw in 1939, crosses the border to Germany and spends the first 18 months of the war in Berlin as part of the overseas press corps. Her ability to befriend her German neighbours, as well as army officers, sees Nancy report those stories at the very forefront of the Nazi regime. Some they are happy to have broadcast to the world, while others are determined to keep hidden.
No surprise then, that Nancy is driven by getting those forbidden stories out of Berlin - at huge personal risk.
