In the beginning of WWII, with Britain becoming desperate, Churchill orders his new spy agency–the Special Operations Executive (SOE)–to recruit and train women as spies. Their daunting mission: conduct sabotage and build a resistance. SOE’s “spymistress,” Vera Atkins, recruits two unusual candidates: Virginia Hall, an ambitious American with a wooden leg, and Noor Inayat Khan, a Muslim pacifist. Together, these women help to undermine the Nazi regimen France, leaving an unmistakable legacy in their wake. Inspired by true stories.
