Berlin 1943. A group of high-society anti-Nazi dissenters meet for a tea party one late summer afternoon. They do not know that sitting around the table is someone poised to betray them all to the Gestapo - revealing their secret to the Nazis' most ruthless detective. They form a circle of unlikely rebels drawn from the German elite: two countesses a diplomat an intelligence officer an ambassador's widow and a pioneering headmistress. Meeting in the shadows rescuing Jews or plotting for a future Germany freed from the Führer's rule what unites them is a shared loathing of the Nazis a refusal to bow to Hitler and the courage to perform perilous acts of resistance. Or so they believe. How did a group of brave principled rebels who had successfully defied Adolf Hitler for more than a decade come to fall into such a lethal trap? And who betrayed them? Undone from within and pursued to near-destruction by one of the Reich's cruellest men they showed a heroism that raises a question with new urgency for our time: what kind of person does it take to risk everything and stand up to tyranny?
