In February 1945, Jules Ternes returns to Luxembourg. To escape conscription, he fled
the country and joined the resistance movement in France. Back in his hometown, Jules
hopes to find peace of mind and put the war behind him. But he returns to a country
devastated by the Battle of the Bulge and deeply divided from four years of occupation.
His sister Mathilde is now engaged to Armand, the leader of the local resistance and his
girlfriend Leonie has another man in her life. Jules nevertheless resumes a relationship
with her and accepts a post as an auxiliary policeman. When Leonie is assassinated
along with the German farmers she works for, the life Jules was struggling to rebuild
collapses. The ensuing investigation will reveal grey areas of the Occupation along with
the efforts made in high places to cover them up.
