June 1940. France is collapsing and signs the armistice. Amidst the chaos, one man refuses to yield. Standing alone against the odds, this little-known general escapes to London to save what remains of a dream: freedom. Without an army, without support, without hope. Yet, he holds a fierce conviction: France—his France—has not laid down its arms. He makes a final, daring gamble: to convince the world that the Battle of France is neither over nor lost.

Their faith, audacity, and burning desire for freedom defy a history that seemed already written...
