As D-Day looms, British agent Flick Clariet's daring raid on a German phone exchange ends in disaster. With her team in tatters, Flick's last chance is to assemble an unlikely all-female unit, the Jackdaws, to infiltrate the target under Nazi noses. But the Germans are waiting, and Flick faces a maze of secrets—within her team, her superiors, and herself. The fate of the Allied invasion rests on Flick's nerves and the Jackdaws' audacious mission.
