Can a gentle French boatbuilder, amidst a world at war, cross the bridge that leads to heroism?
Courage flows where danger runs deep.
Occupied France, 1942. Garonne de la Fontaine, a boatbuilder with a gentle heart, is torn between his desire to protect those in need and his fear of the brutal Nazi regime.

As the Gestapo descends upon his home, Garonne desperately tries to smuggle the girl out of harm's way, navigating the treacherous river under the cloak of darkness. But their escape is far from over. When the Resistance rescues them from a perilous encounter, they inform Garonne of an English spy held captive in a nearby castle – a castle he knows intimately.
