Jack Latourneau, an OSS agent, works with Maquis leader Philippe Boudrey behind enemy lines in France and in Indochina during WWII, leaving his comfortable upper class existence for a world of espionage and assassination that changes his life forever.

He falls in love with Christin, which leads to a confrontation with her former boyfriend, Walt. Walt attacks him and Jack leaves him unconscious on the floor.
