At the dawn of WW2, the young Eva, a Russian émigrée in Paris, is recruited to work for the British Secret Service. Under the guidance of her mentor, Lucas Romer, she transforms into the perfect spy, but all is not as it seems. Years later, Eva, or rather the wife and mother Sally Gilmartin, finds herself confronted with her past, and with it, her daughter.
