Her life is further enmeshed by the arrival of a new Gestapo chief who sets out to seduce her. Marisa's position becomes increasingly precarious as the resistance hunts for a traitor in the organisation. Suspicion falls on one of the hospital's doctors and he is murdered, throwing Marisa into the resistance firing line.As the war approaches its climax, Marisa's Gestapo lover flees and the young nurse follows. He is ultimately revealed as a key operator in a resistance escape line that traverses four countries. But he has a secret which threatens to crush him. Marisa finally discovers the truth behind the man who risked his life to save others in a masterpiece of deception.
