Spain, 1942. General Franco, despite his own beliefs, has made the country neutral. At least, in theory. Spain, as thanks for Germany's aid during the civil war, provides plenty of arms to the German army. And with tensions between Spain's different political factions still high, the entire country seems to be one spark from another all out war.
San Sebastian, the seaside city that American reporter Jackie Ramirez currently calls home, is a seeming paradise. Even with the vacationing German officers in the city, it's hard to think that just twelve miles away, across the Pyrenees in France, the war is alive and well. However, with the imminent threat of being sent back to the states if she doesn't find the scoop of a lifetime, the war is the farthest thing from her mind.
However, when she witnesses the murder of a German officer at the hands of a mysterious Frenchman, the war is brought right to Jackie's doorstep, and she finds herself wrapped up in it in ways she never could have imagined.
Sometimes those spam emails aren't really spam. Sometimes they're pleading requests to help save lives.
Julie, a journalist, learns that the world is far more complicated and violent than she could have ever imagined. After receiving a request for her help on a certain situation, Julie packs her bags and leaves for Palestine, a land she's never heard of, nor ever been to. Julie does not know what to expect, or if she'll even find a decent story there. But one thing leads to another and Julie finds herself a set of friends, an exploding story, and trouble.
Of course, little does she know of the events that will happen that will blow her mind.
Literally.
