In 1941, eighteen-year-old Harald Olufsen discovers a concealed German radar installation on an occupied Danish island. The information may explain why British aircraft are being intercepted, but Danish resistance channels are compromised and Harald has no secure route across the North Sea.
With help from Karen Duchwitz and a small circle of resisters, Harald attempts to repair and fly an abandoned Hornet Moth aircraft despite his limited experience. The escape combines technical improvisation with the dangers of occupation, collaboration and German security policing, making the intelligence itself inseparable from the survival of the people carrying it.
