Belgium, 1944Sergeant Wally Shaw has been on the run across the war-torn Belgium countryside for longer than he’d like.Weary and disillusioned by the senseless risks of war, and unable to keep up the fight when everything he holds dear is gone, he deserted his platoon and is now a fugitive.He makes his way by stealing supplies and selling them on the black market.It’s not the most honourable way of life, but Shaw stopped caring about honour a long time ago. Fleeing British MPs, he races across the Nazi-ravaged fields and plunges into hiding — only to find himself in the company of three Germans who, like Shaw, are deserters.Forced by circumstance to trust each other, an uneasy alliance is formed that ultimately leads the four men to hatch an incredible, daring and impossible plot.In a concentration camp in the heart of Germany, millions of pounds of perfect British banknotes are being printed — the forgery entirely undetectable, even by the experts at the Bank of England.Their aim – to flood and destroy the British economy.
