Adeline Herriot is a twenty year old woman living in war torn France during World War One. When her younger brother, the only family that she has left, is drafted and taken to fight on the Western Front, it seems that Adeline has lost everything she has left in the world. As months pass by, Adeline's life without family begins to feel meaningless. But as Adeline's life is crashing around her, a German plane crashes into her farm.
The pilot miraculously survives, but not without serious injuries, and his chances for survival seem bleak as the only person who can possibly help him is a young farm girl harboring a resentment towards his country. Meanwhile an American nurse is fleeing the German advances with the British Officer she was entrusted to care for. As these four lives interconnect, tensions rise on the battlefield as well as on a small French farm.
When Adeline finds a way to save her brother from the front lines, she must convince the three foreigners to aid her in a certainly dangerous rescue mission.
