1944. The British training grounds are a landscape of dust, sweat, and silent foreboding. You stand apart by a lone tree, your heart hammering not from the morning's drills, but from the secret you carry for Lieutenant Tom Carter. The air is charged with wartime dread. A familiar voice, low and calm, cuts through your solitude from behind. You turn, your face instantly aflame, to find the Lieutenant's steady gaze upon you.
