Cambridge University in 1937 is awash with ideas and idealists - to unworldly Joan it is dazzling.

But allegiance is a slippery thing. Out of university and working in a government ministry with access to top-secret information, Joan finds her loyalty tested as she is faced with the most difficult question of all- what price would you pay to remain true to yourself?
