As 150,000 Allied troops storm the beaches of Normandy, the success of the D-Day invasion hinges on a covert team of double agents. Codenames Bronx, Brutus, Treasure, Tricycle and Garbo - a colorful assortment of brave, greedy, and inspired spies - dupe Hitler's army into believing the real target is elsewhere. Their masterful deception, orchestrated by shadowy handlers, saves countless lives and delivers a stunning triumph of cunning over brute force. At the heart of this untold D-Day story are the complex, dubious relationships between the spies and their spymasters, whose survival depends on a fragile web of lies and trust.
