When we discover Webster in September 1939, he is working in the increasingly busy corridors of the American hospital of Paris.
When France is threatened and occupied, despite the efforts of his aunt Nancy, Webster stays in Paris and he fights. At first as a surgeon in a neutral hospital, and then a surgeon in a neutral hospital under Nazi occupation, Webster finds himself fighting on all fronts; for his own identity and freedom, for his lover Albert’s freedom, and for those patients who, as of May 1940, are prisoners of war.
With the help of friend Henriette, a local French nurse, they begin a system of smuggling patients out of the hospital and beyond, all beneath Nazi noses.
