Cristián Ferrar, a handsome Spanish lawyer in Paris, is approached to help a clandestine agency supply weapons to beleaguered Republican forces. He agrees, putting his life on the line.

From shady nightclubs in Paris to sailor´s bars on the Gdansk waterfront, Furst paints a spell-binding portrait of a continent marching into a nightmare -and the heroes and heroines who fought back.
