When a fellow performer dies under suspicious circumstances and a song request becomes the signal for a Nazi submarine attack, Lorna must choose between saving her own life or stopping a deadly plot. With the fate of a convoy—and her country—on the line, her voice becomes the ultimate weapon. Lena Horne stars in this electrifying wartime thriller of courage, deception, and patriotism.
