It’s been two years since Germany’s victory in the Battle of Britain, and the citizens of the Occupied English Territories live their lives in a constant fog of paranoia and fear. The world seems to have turned upside down, there’s the SS in Essex, concentration camps in Coventry, and the fight for democracy is waged only by the foolhardy souls of the British resistance. When the Nazi’s most powerful leaders gather for a conference in the English countryside, its villagers are forced with fatal suddenness to choose, to take a side or be silent, with their own lives in the balance. Can any hope exist in these, the bleakest of times? One thing’s for certain, Churchill was wrong. Cause this sure ain’t the end of the beginning.
