1942: With the war's outcome hanging in the balance, President Roosevelt sends an unlikely new taskforce on a unique mission. Maria Alves, a microfilm expert working at the New York Public Library, is dispatched to Lisbon, where she meticulously photographs publications and sends the film to London to be analysed. Working in tandem with Tiago Soares, a Portuguese bookstore owner on a precarious mission of his own - providing Jewish refugees with forged passports and visas. Maria acquires vital information, including a directory of arms factories in Germany. But as she and Tiago grow closer, any future together is jeopardised when Maria's superiors ask her to pose as a double agent, feeding misinformation to Lars Steiger, a wealthy Swiss banker and Nazi sympathizer who launders Hitler's gold. Gaining Lars' trust will bring Maria into the very heart of the Fuhrer's inner circle.
