The small French village of Briecourt may be isolated from early battles of World War I, but a century-old feud between the Toussaints and the de Colvilles rages in the streets. Despite being adopted, Julitte Toussaint endures the de Colvilles' scorn. Everything changes when the German army occupies the town, trapping outsiders behind enemy lines. When Julitte discovers Charles Lassone in the church basement, an unexpected - and dangerous - love blossoms.
