In 1942, on N@zi-occupied Jersey, Louisa Gould bravely shelters Feodor, a Russian POW she calls "Bill," after his escape from the Germans. For a year, they live in constant fear of discovery, carefully maintaining their fragile existence.

One stormy night, Bill steps out into the darkness to retrieve supplies from a nearby shed. The wind howls, and rain pelts the ground as he hurries. But just as he reaches the shed, he hears a faint sound—something stirring inside.
