Sisters. Traitors. Spies. When a British RAF Whitley plane comes under fire over the French coast and is forced to drop their cargo, a spy messenger pigeon finds its way into unlikely hands... The occupation has taken much from the Cotillard sisters, and as the Germans increase their forces in the seaside town of Boulogne-sur-Mer, Gabriella, Martine and Simone can't escape the feeling that the walls are closing in. Yet, just as they should be trying to stay under the radar, Martine's discovery of a British messenger pigeon leads them down a new and dangerous path. Gaby would do anything to protect her sisters but when the pianist is forced to teach the step-daughter of a German Commandant, and the town accuses the Cotillards of becoming 'Bad French' and in allegiance with the enemy, she realizes they have to take the opportunity to fight back that has been handed to them. Now, as the sisters' secrets wing their way to an unknown contact in London, Gaby, Martine and Simone have to wonder – have they opened a lifeline, or sealed their fate?

      Gabriella and her sisters, Martine and Simone, are trying to avoid the Nazis' notice in occupied France. Martine smuggles home one of the messenger pigeons that had been prematurely dumped by the RAF, while, when a commandant finds Gaby's prized piano, Gaby is ordered to teach his stepdaughter. Refusing would be dangerous, but cooperating will leave the sisters shunned by neighbors. They use the pigeon to get a message to the Allies, with sheet music from Gaby's masterpiece. In the London War Office, Guy has been waiting for news of his pigeon operation, the only thing he cares about after losing his wife. When he tracks down a former professor of Gaby's who plays her music for him, he is enchanted. While Gaby and her sisters walk the thin line between compliance and resistance, and Guy tries to salvage his program and protect his "heroines," their fates intertwine as the tension of war builds, and they discover whom they can and cannot trust. This is a compelling story of compassion and courage, the bond among sisters, and the power of music to inspire and sustain us.
