1938. Their ménage a trios splits. Young, naïve and unquestionably in love, the couple are persuaded to work for Englands growing Secret Service, recruited just hours before they compete in Italys most famous motor race: the 1000 mile Mille Miglia. Operating as couriers, under the guise of race entrants, their plans quickly go awry. Unexpectedly entrusted with delivering a captured German Enigma encryption machine to SIS agents in Switzerland, fate cruelly intercedes; Fascisti forces suspect treachery, and act. Unwittingly, and now bereft, the third member watches Italian events unfold. Her own intelligence role proves potentially lethal as she travels a military resurgent Germany in compromising company, gathering crucial information before the world descends into chaos.
