Harry Chase is a young Englishman with a flair for languages, deceit and heartbreak. A talented translator, Harry is in Warsaw working for the British embassy. Caught in an explosive love triangle between his Mancunian girlfriend Lois Bennett, and local Warsaw girl Kasia Tomaszeski, when war breaks out, Harry has choices to make, fast.
With Kasia's life in danger, he knows that there is one place she would be safe: Manchester. But how will he explain this to Lois, and, what's more, to his mother?
Funny, handsome and clever, life has been easy for Hryar so far – but war changes this forever. An idealist, a rebel, perhaps Harry always just needed a cause - and the cause is the war. The series will take him all the way from Warsaw to Dunkirk, as he learns to lead, to fight, and to find out what he truly believes in.
