Sadie Simcowicz has always felt like a girl born in the wrong era: she rolls her hair, wears red lipstick and vintage dresses, and takes swing dancing classes every Monday evening. She loves the '40's, and she loves old films, especially the ones starring her favorite WWII spy, Clifton Brand. If he were real and not just some piece of monochrome celluloid, Sadie jokes that she'd finally have the man of her dreams (unlike her cheating ex). But, one night during a storm in the old movie house where she works, Sadie bumps into an intruder who seems to have stumbled right out of the screen: he is the spitting image of her dream-man, Clifton Brand, and that's just who he claims to be.Sadie wants to think he's crazy, but she can't deny the strange, old-fashioned things he says, the way he stares at modern technology or opens doors for her-and he is a helluva swing dancer. And just when she thinks she's falling for him she finds out the biggest shock of all: he really did step right out of a movie . . . and now it's times to go back. Unable to face the thought of losing the one man she's always wanted, she follows him right through the screen and into his world.Sadie and Clif are plunged head-first into an adventure straight out of the films Sadie loves, hitching a ride of a submarine, jumping out of fighter planes, fighting Nazis, and realizing with each passing day that they can't live without each other. But what happens when it's time for Sadie to go home?
