When Claire's husband, Captain Alain Mitchell, disappears after seeking treatment for shell shock in Canada, Claire's innocent hope of reuniting her family for Christmas is overshadowed by a growing unease.

But when she arrives, she's forced to go into hiding when military intelligence begin searching the town for her. She knows Mitchell needs her more than ever, but can she reconcile her love for him with the mounting evidence against him? In a country fraught with treachery, Claire's past and present collide as she unearths a painful reality hidden beneath the shadows of betrayal.
