Set during WWII, the pic follows an injured American pilot Gene (Abel), and his OSS agent fiancée Penny (Hildebrand), who retreat to a remote estate in Massachusetts to visit her extended family (Cusack and Sorvino). Unbeknownst to Penny, the OSS has recruited Gene to spy on the family and the surrounding community, including Belgian immigrant Viktor (Gehrig), as top-secret documents related to the D-Day Invasion have been stolen and an enemy mole is somewhere nearby, preparing to turn these plans over to the Axis Powers.
“We’re thrilled at the chance to work with Mira, who we’ve admired in this business for years. And we were so happy to work with Geza as well, as we have a mutual friend in Hungarian filmmaker Janos Szasz, and were so impressed by his past performances in Son of Saul and other films,” said Jordan Yale Levine and Jordan Beckerman of Yale Productions in a joint statement.
