During a tragic period in humanity, Philippe Gerbier is an ordinary man who finds himself in the center of extraordinary events, alongside compatriots Mathilde, Luc Jardie, Francois, Le Masque and Felix, who are members of the Resistance. Among other notables like "Colonel Passy" -- one of DeGaulle's chief architects of the Movement -- the story follows these early French Resistance fighters, showing how they help the British during World War II.
