  • "D-Day is approaching. They don't know where or when, but the Germans know it'll be soon. And the allies know that for it to succeed, the German telephone exchange near Rheims must be destroyed first. A full-frontal assault led by British SOE (Special Operations Executives) Felicity 'Flick' Clariet and her husband, a French Resistance leader, has failed, leaving the Allies with only a last-minute desperation plan: a team of six women, posing as a cleaning detail, will infiltrate the exchange and dismantle it. Flick has only a few hours to round up her team, and she must choose from a handful of SOE rejects, as well as the odd prisoner and sharpshooting aristocrat, as well as two lesbians, a German transvestite, and a gypsy. Do they --- and the Allies --- have even a chance of succeeding?"@en
